LAY HO MA everyone! Be sure to make this easy pasta (tomato) sauce because I'll be using it as a base for future episodes 😉 Remember to like, comment, and subscribe so you won't miss a single episode!
I love your videos! Thank you
Is it tasty? Yep. Is it healthy? Nope!
making this tomorrow for my family Im excited 🙂
What about we blend 1st only we saute what is the differences ?
Hey, great instructions, can't help feeling like it'd be easier to watch without the music though…😅
But thank you, great video
Looks very appetizing you could freeze it too
You GOT IT GOING ON WITH UR COOKING. THERE IS NO NEED TO GO TO ANYONE ELSES CHANNEL. ITS ALL RIGHT HERE. THANKU AMAZING
I found this recipe 4 years ago and my god it's insane! Thanks!
Yes!!! Loved how thick and rich, and the taste, out of this world zesty and so flavorsome! Here in Mexico, we make a caldillo(broth)but it's too runny, I'm thinking🤔 the tomato paste is what makes it thick and rich, like ya say Yeung Man, great for pasta or using in other recipes like your yummy Vegan Tikka Masala that is 5-star food porn!😋👍
Can you can this
I grew a bunch of tomato varieties and I mixed them all in this sauce, omg so delicious and so easy. I also made his cashew cream miso sauce from another recipe to add on top and had it with chickpea pasta. Unbelievably delicious!
Dude, that is a great video. You didn't BS around , Babble on about different things, etc. etc. you just major stuff made it easy to follow and bam done
Absolutely great job
I punched the air with happiness when you said I didn't have to chop the Garlic.
Hello and thanks for this simple recipe and I am making it today! Two Quick questions, how long will the pasta sauce last in the refrigerator? And about how much sauce will this make? Thanks again!
That looks lovely, I’m just about to do this recipe, I love batch cooking, can I ask how long it will last in the fridge please. Thank you 👍🏽
The soft tomatoes are better for sauce. They are ripened and more flavorful.
Trying to add pics of my sauce
I have made this sauce twice but second batch was much better less watery.
We like to add a leaf of fresh basil in the jar and then pour the hot sauce. Turn the jar upside down to cool, it will preserve the sauce longer and gently infuse the basil without cooking it all the way. Thanks for the videos.
I was waiting for you to spice the tomato sauce but you didn't 😳. What spices do you suggest 😏?
I love your blender and oven including the stove.
☺
INCREDIBLE
Hello! How long can you keep it stored in the fridge without problem? Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for the amazing recipe! Where do you store your tomato sauce after you place it in the jars?
Thanks Wil for your short and efficient presentations. I really enjoy watching your videos. You add words and sentences when necessary. I wish all of my other favorite bloggers do the same. Sometimes I just don’t feel like hearing people talk too much. Just give me basic instructions. Thanks again!!
I'm making this today here in New Zealand so I can make tofu tikka masala
I actually didn't mess it up this time, thank you!
This is pretty much how I make my sauce. I also make a lot of it in the summer with fresh herbs out of my garden. I put about half of it through my food processor and then add it back in to the batch. That will give you a chunkier sauce if that’s your thing.
Added fresh herbs towards the end. Love this recipe 🥰
Simply delicious & beautiful to see🌿
Lay ho ma! Just want to say that this sauce lends itself well to canning. If you don't know how to can, you might want to learn how. You can then tripple or quaduple this recipe and put it up for later use even months or a year after you make it. That way you have really good sauce on hand anytime you need it for something super fast and easy. Spend the time now so that you can save the time later! There are so many things you can use a good tomato sauce for. If you reduce it even further into almost a paste it can be the basis of a really awesome pizza sauce, as you can find in one of Will's other videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjhoGIHnVu4 If you like a really saucy pizza, then reduce this sauce down further before canning it. That way you won't make the pizza crust soggy. Making tomato sauces is a bit time consuming, especially if you want to reduce it to something very thick. There is no way to hurry the process along. If you are wanting to make a really thick tomato paste or very thick sauce, it is best to set aside an entire day to do it. It has a delightful side benefit of filling the air in your home with a most desirable sent that you can enjoy all day long, and even through to the next day. It is one of the benefits of cooking at home which you can't get at a restaurant. You are not only giving your pallet a treat, but also giving one to your nose! Send the plug-ins and defusers on vacation for a day and simply use your kitchen as your defuser for a day.
I am only canning small amounts of this right now, and am waiting to can larger amounts when my garden starts producing in large quantities. There always comes a point each summer when my tomatoes start producing more than I can use fresh, and there will eventually come a point where it will produce more than I am able to can. At that point I start slicing and sun-drying some of them and freezing some of the sun-dried ones for later use. I'm lucky to have such fertile soil in my back yard!
One thing I'm not saying is that you have to have a garden to enjoy this recipe, or to can it for that matter. I'm just saying that this is an option in times of plenty to save for leaner times, often in the winter months. Canning this recipe makes it great when watching out for really good sales on tomatoes. As will mentioned, the best tomatoes for this are Romas. These long, almost pear shaped tomatoes are meatier, and lower in water content than other varieties, and that that translates into less time reducing. But in any case, keep your eye on tomato prices, and when the prices drop to an unusually low point, buy them out and make lots of inexpensive super tasting sauce to can and use later. In the long run, your bank account will love you for doing it, and on evenings where you don't have time for anything other than to boil noodles, or on long winter evenings when you are longing for something fresh tasting, pop open a can, heat it up, and pour it over your favourite pasta. Instant comfort food!
I would also like to take a moment to pass on a secret I learned from the husband of a friend of mine. He is a five Michelin Rosette chef, and his simple way of doing it can't be beat. Simply:
1) take a big pot which has a lid, and leaving the lid off, put in water and bring it to a hard rolling boil.
2) When it has come to a hard rolling boil, remove it from the heat, put your noodles in and cover immediately.
3) Immediately start a timer going for 10 minutes and let the noodles stand for that period of time. There is no need for further boiling.
4) When the timer goes off, pour it into a strainer and remove all excess water. The noodles will be past al dente, but not be mushy and overcooked.
It will be perfect every time. I use this method with everything from thick spaghetti noodles to angel hair pasta. I've even tried it with pene pasta with excellent results. I haven't tried it with egg noodles or with pastas such as bow tie, snail shell, or other shaped pastas, so I can't promise results for those. But in the case of straight pastas, it works supremely. I use this only for cooking wheat flour noodles. It probably won't be what you want to do with rice noodles or noodles made from flower other than wheat. Noodles made this way, combined with Will's tomato sauce will satisfy every time, and if you have set aside or canned some of Will's sauce you can have a really great dinner on the table in under 15 minutes. Try beating that for convenience!
Any chance this can be done without a blender? I don’t have many tools in the kitchen and all your other recipes have only ever needed a pot lol
Tomatoes are so cheap these days. Definitely going to make this to use with our pasta dish. Thank you for the great recipes.
Nice recipe
