Directions
10 Minute Tomato Sauce from America’s Test Kitchen,Fresh tasting pasta sauce using canned crushed tomatoes as described on America’s Test Kitchens. Use either Muir Glenn or Tuttoroso crushed tomatoes because they use a lower processing temperature in the canning process and therefore are fresher tasting than other brands. Recipe Notes: According to the chefs, grating the onions instead of chopping allows them to carmelize more quickly. The butter is used because saturated fats helps the onions stay sweet. Olive oil contains unsaturated fats that react with an enzyme in the onion that can result in a bitter taste. Using crushed tomatoes is preferable to other forms. The chefs apparently expended a great deal of effort in developing this simple recipe so it is suggested that it be followed closely in order to acheive a fresh tasting sauce from canned tomatoes.,I love most things made by America’s Test Kitchen, but this sauce tasted “unfinished” to me. So, I added: 2 more minced garlic cloves, 1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning, an additional 1/4 c. chopped onion, 1/2 c. chopped green pepper, 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms, 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper and, instead of the sugar, 1/2 small carrot, shredded. You can also add 1/4 c. red wine to add a more robust flavor to the sauce. FYI: I served 6 with this sauce because my additions thinned the sauce a bit.,Ive never left a review on anything in my life but I absolutely love this sauce
