    Anyone have a good recipe for homemade tomato sauce? Have a bunch of tomatoes that are ripening up and would like to make it for dinner tomorrow night. If you do have one please share along with the full recipe and instructions as I need it as I am not a good cook.

    About 20 ripe plum tomatoes
    About 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more to finish the dish
    Pinch of crushed red pepper
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 tbs. unsalted butter 1 oz. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about half a cup)
    6 to 8 fresh basil leaves well washed and dried, stacked and rolled into a cylinder and cut thinly crosswise into a chiffonade
    1 lb. spaghetti, either high-quality dry or homemade

    1 lb. spaghetti, either high-quality dry or homemade

    To peel the tomatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Have a large bowl of ice water nearby. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato. Ease about 5 tomatoes in the pot and cook. Let boil for about 15 seconds and then promptly move them to the waiting ice water (do this with the remaining tomatoes). Pull off the skin with the tip of a paring knife. If the skin sticks, try a vegetable peeler using a gentle sawing motion. Cut the tomatoes in half and use your finger to flick out the seeds.

    To cook the tomatoes: In a wide pan, heat the 1/3 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and season lightly with the salt and pepper (I always start with a light hand with the salt and pepper because as the tomatoes reduce, the salt will become concentrated).
    Let the tomatoes cook for a few minutes to soften. Then, using a potato masher, chop the tomatoes finely. Cook the tomatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze it for longer storage.

    ** don't use crappy olive oil and use fresh basil

    Thanks Mrs Robinson, appreciated. Sinatra I have used some of the allrecipe for other things I have cooked, and it was kind of hit and miss. If I am going to spend a lot of time preparing the sauce, I want it to be good and I like a lot of the cooking threads I have seen on here and was hoping one of the OT chefs could lead me to a good one.

    So, with that said, if others have good recipes, please keep them coming.

    Why is the title of this thread a question.

    It seems pretty clear that you need a tomato sauce recipe?
