so glad you guys enjoyed it! easy-peasy, right? as for crushing the tomatoes, i either use my hands (after washing, of course!), or the kitchen tool of choice in our family–the wooden spoon. it’s not that much effort. lol. i don’t remember my mom ever using a blender on the tomatoes in her sauce, but then again you know i don’t hang out in the kitchen too much.

Tried the sauce tonight. Easy and delish – very fresh tasting with those imported tomatoes. The little princess had two helpings. Question: Have you (or anyone) ever tried putting the whole tomatoes into the blender to crush them before cooking? I hate smashing them with a spoon against the side of the pot (and Aunt Claire once suggested the blender.)

I’m so happy! Now people don’t only have to take my word for it! And, 300+ Smitten Kitchen comments can’t be wrong either.

Haha!! My mother is italian and her mother made the best sauce! I always made it her way…hours in the kitchen…some wine for me, some wine for the pot. You know. But I figured this tomato/butter/onion thing out when I was in college! It was easy, cheap and good.

I am sort of going the vegan route and have even made it with vegan butter. I thought it would taste like a bar of wax mixed with tomato sauce but it was also good. Not as good as butter but good.
