Best Big Pot Sauce Recipes

BIG POT MARINARA SAUCE - EASY PEASY

Steps:

• 1. I make this during canning season so at this point I have already peeled seeded and chopped my tomatoes and they are cooking on med-low with the 2 bay leaves in large pot for about an hour to thicken them up. (I do leave some seeds in my marinara)In the winter I use 4 quarts of home canned tomatoes.
• 2. Chop up the onions, carrots and celery.
• 3. In a large skillet combine and cook onion, celery, and carrots in the olive oil until tender - about 20 minutes.
• 4. Add garlic and stir. Remove from heat.
• 5. Add celery, carrots and onion mixture to the pot of tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
• 6. I use a Immersion blender to puree the marinara right in the pot. We like ours with little veggies pieces but you could blend until smooth.
• 7. Add your oregano marjoram and basil to the pot and cook to your desired consistency.
• 8. Serve over hot pasta. This makes a big pot. I freeze the leftovers after the sauce has cooled. This recipe usually gets us 5 meals and we have a 4 people family.

BIG POT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, cook sausages over medium heat until juices run clear. Drain, and cut into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
• In large (13 quart) stock pot over medium heat, saute onion, garlic and crushed red pepper in olive oil until golden brown. Stir in sausage pieces, half the oregano and half the basil, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Stir in the remaining oregano and basil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour in the red wine, and with a handheld mixer, carefully blend the sauce in the pot until the tomatoes have been chopped into small pieces and the sauce is thick and chunky. Serve.
