Tomato Sauce (Passata)

1 Aug

It’s Tomato Sauce Day. Antonio and Maria teach the traditional recipe for how to make 100 bottles of the good stuff!

BEWARE: There was a slightly unfortunate end to this video that wasn’t captured. After the camera stopped recording, the gas bottled exploded. Its a long story, but Antonio ended up in the emergency with two very burnt arms. Luckily it wasn’t too severe, and he’ll be right in a month or two, but it goes to show, be extra careful when dealing with fire.

Ingredients:

  • Tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Fresh Basil
Special Equipment:
  • Tomato Squasher
  • Bottles to put tomato sauce in
  • Massive pot to keep all the bottles in that you can fill with water and boil
