Tell me your best tomato sauce recipe

[TheHuntingOfTheSarky]

Just that really. I'm doing spaghetti and meatballs tonight and usually make my own meatballs but had to get ready-made ones this time so need a really good punchy in-your-face tomato sauce to go with them.

What can I add to make it more special?

[Stoneagemum]

Red onions cooked slowly in olive oil until caramelised, balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan, passata, basil and black pepper.
Or that's my version of a great tomato sauce that my teen dc love too.

I do pretty much what Stoneagemum does, with garlic and sometimes crumble one small dried chilli pepper into it for extra kick.

I add a splash of tobasco to mine i dont caramlise my onions though that sounds lovely the rest is the same

Going to try the onions!

Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce with just a tin of toms, an onion & butter.

It is amazing.

If your tinned tomatoes are not of the finest quality you will need to add a pinch of sugar at the end.

Annoyingly I can only find American recipes on google so it's all cups:

I'll post the UK recipe tomorrow.
