Grandma's Traditional Tomato Sauce:
Enjoy A Culinary Delight From Italy!
Preview To Recipe
Have you ever wanted to make a traditionalItalian sauce that would delight family and friends? Would it bring a smile to your face to serve a sauce steeped in the traditions of Italy? If your answer to the above two questions was yes, then Grandma's Traditional Tomato Sauce is for you! The sauce is easy to make and contains all natural ingredients without compromising taste. The seasoned onions complement the herb seasoning and the sweetness of the tomatoes, and the result will tantalize everyone's taste buds. While this sauce will go well with any pasta, my favorite is penne. Try cooking the pasta al dente to reduce the sugars and to provide a pasta texture that will have your guests will go back for second or third helpings!
At the dinner table a nice red wine such as a Merlot will enhance the rich flavors of this sauce. This wonderful sauce combined with red wine and good conversation and laughter will provide for a memorable dinner and evening. Buon Appetito!
