Spaghetti Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes Recipe

I didn’t think cooking could feel this satisfying.

This recipe was a really good guideline. I had so many tomatoes that were ripe from the garden, I didn't want them to go to waste so I decided to give it a try. I peeled and actually used my food processor to crush the tomatoes first. I added extra seasonings, black pepper and also used real garlic and a bit of fresh basil for colour along with the dried, as dried seasonings do pack some flavour. I also tossed in a couple bay leaves when it was simmering. This turned out well and was great to use up those fresh tomatoes!

Really good! I used this essentially as a base recipe and added a few different ingredients to switch up the flavor. I ended up adding oregano and minced garlic as well. I also added red pepper flakes and sundried tomatoes. Threw it together with some angel hair pasta and ground beef and it was super good. I covered the pot during the simmering stage because I didn't want it splattering everywhere. Ended up simmering for 2 1/2 hours on my stove top setting of '3'. Overall really tasty and will be making again.

Excellent, easy & I will definitely make it again. I omitted the onions (don't care for them) & I cut the tomatoes into chunks but I didn't peel them . Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly except I put it in a crockpot & let it simmer for several hours until it got very thick. About halfway through the process, I used a potato masher to crush everything & it was so divine ... my hubby & I both loved it. This was my first attempt at making spaghetti sauce from fresh tomatoes & I am glad I chose this recipe .. no need to look any further. It was easier than expected & there was enough sauce left to freeze for 2 more meals.

I made this last week with my garden Tomatoes and herbs. It was absolutely scrumptious! I had fresh basil, parsley, and thyme growing in my garden so I used those and added 2 bay leaves. I cooked the onion and garlic separately first before adding to the sauce. Added dry spices first and then the fresh ones an hour later. No thickening is necessary here as it cooks down for 2 hours it gets thick on its own. I should have made a lot more of this to can but it was my first time making Spaghetti sauce and didn’t know how it would turn out. Next year I will definitely make more! Family and friends raved about it.

Thank you....it Turned out delicious! In addition to the menu’s ingredients I did add 2 cloves of minced garlic,1small green pepper,a Tablespoon of oregano and finished it by thickening it slightly with a tablespoon of corn starch mixed with a 1/2 cup reserved juice from my tomatoes and a pound of cooked ground beef..

Made as is but added green bell peppers, fresh garlic and red pepper flakes!! Hubby loved it! I froze the leftovers sauce in zip lock bags to save room in freezer and it tasted even better. Oh and used substitute sugar instead of real sugar.

No better way to use all those tomatoes in the garden. I love making this almost as written. I don’t use the sugar though, maybe a 1/4 tsp at most, other than that it great. I also will blend 1/2 my tomatoes, and skin the other half because I hate to throw out the good stuff, and it’s a pain the skin cherry tomatoes!

I used this basic recipe to cook and freeze tomato sauce for later use. I used fresh basil and parsley. I omitted the sugar, as my tomatoes were fresh as well. When the sauce was finished cooking, I used a stick blender to give it a thicker and smoother finish. Really good recipe.

We love this recipe! I added 1T oregano, used fresh basil and garlic. Am canning a big batch today with some of my excess tomatoes so we can enjoy it this winter.

This is a great way to use up a lot of fresh tomatoes from the garden. Absolutely delicious. I simmered the sauce with meatballs. Make sure to watch the sauce so that it doesn't cook down too much. I added some chicken broth as needed as I was simmering it. Everyone loved it and the leftovers were even better the next day! Thank you!

it's good.

I've made this one a couple times and I have to say that it's the best! I have modified it a bit. I have used lemon by tomatoes and it works well. looks strange but its easier on the tummy.

No changes

This is a great recipe! Like others, we had an abundance of garden tomatoes. Followed the recipe and it was flavorful. I did end up tweaking it a bit, following some reviewers - I had to thicken it up - and that turned out how I truly like spaghetti sauce / gravy. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Easy and delicious!!

Used brown sugar instead of wh.

Great recipe! I'm going to look at the other reviews for tweaking though.

Had a pile of fresh, peeled tomatoes, so I googled sauce made with fresh tomatoes. I learned that it makes no difference, except the lack of the salt in canned tomatoes. So I made it like I always do, basically like this recipe. But I am going to opine that the quickest way to ruin a red sauce is to add sugar. DONT DO IT. And garlic powder? In spaghetti sauce? Sacrilege. Fresh, darn it!
