   I heard that really ripe tomatoes are not so good for making pasta sauce because they are too sweet. Not too sure about the truth to that but I do have a recipe book that you can get.

   Real restaurant type sauces. Lots of recipes as well. If you need them please go see here.

   The NSA is No Salt Added. I am on a low sodium diet so I can adjust to accordingly to taste and to fit my diet guidlines

   Spaghetti Sauce:

   Everyone does theirs different but here is the general way I do mine. Not exact as I just toss most everything in as I go and taste a lot and eye-ball it.

   1 can NSA stewed diced tomatoes
   1 can NSA tomato sauce
   1 can tomato paste-sometimes
   1 small onion chopped
   1 good sized clove of garlic chopped
   Unsalted butter
   Low or no sodium chicken broth
   Italian seasoning
   Basil
   Oregano
   Parsley
   Dried Chives
   Pinch sugar
   Pepper
   Granulated Garlic
   Onion powder
   ¼ tsp or less celery salt

   Saute the onion and garlic until translucent and tender. Add the tomatoes and remaining ingredients. I like to simmer mine for at least 20-30 min. Use over pasta with or with out meat. In lasagna, chicken parmesan etc…
   Simmer bone in skinless chicken thighs and legs, until they are fall of the bone tender for super yummy chicken sauce.

   You can also add a little more water and some chopped veggies and make a tomato veggie soup.

   If you want something you can whip up in a hurry with stuff you usually have around the house, try this: Saute 1/2 a diced onion in a couple of tbs. olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add a heaping tbs. of minced garlic and a tsp. of Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute. Add a 6 oz. can of tomato paste, two cans of water, a 14.5 oz.can of diced tomatoes, and red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 20 minutes or so. This is surprisingly good for being so simple. It makes a great pizza sauce, and you can add anything you like [sausage, fresh basil, olives, anchovies] to take it up a notch.

    Here are some definite winners in sauces. Try them all, yum! <3

    Marinara Sauce
    Chef Michael Chiarello

    Ingredients:
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium)
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
    1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
    1 can (28 oz) Crushed Tomatoes with added puree
    1 large fresh basil sprig with leaves removed
    1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher (coarse) salt
    Pinch baking soda or sugar, if desired
    Preparation:
    In 3-quart nonreactive saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Stir in parsley and garlic; cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
    Stir in tomatoes, basil stem and salt. Simmer uncovered 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. (If sauce tastes too acidic, add pinch of baking soda and cook 5 minutes longer. If sauce needs touch of sweetness, add pinch of sugar and cook 5 minutes longer.) Remove basil stem before serving.

    Fresh Tomato Sauce with Fennel & Orange
    Any short tubular or curly pasta works well with this sauce. If your tomatoes are tart, you may need to add up to 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

    Ingredients:
    4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 medium bulb fennel , trimmed of stalks, halved, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
    2 medium cloves garlic , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 2 teaspoons)
    1/2 teaspoon fennel seed , lightly crushed
    Pinch saffron , crushed (optional)
    1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
    2 strips orange peel (each 3 by 1 inch)
    3 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice from 1 orange
    3 pounds ripe round tomatoes , cored, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 3/4 cups)
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
    1/4 teaspoon table salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    Granulated sugar
    Preparation:
    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned around edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, fennel seed, saffron (if using), pepper flakes, and orange peel; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and cook until tomato pieces lose their shape to form chunky sauce, about 10 minutes.
    Remove and discard orange peel. Stir in orange juice, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Toss sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons oil with pasta and serve. Makes enough to sauce 1 pound of pasta.

    Bolognese Meat Sauce
    Simili sisters of Bologna
    The sisters prepare a delicate brodo di carne, or meat broth, for use in their ragù because the sauce doesn't need a lot of additional flavor. Unless you're making brodo for another use, though, any light broth will do.

    Ingredients:
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1 small yellow onion, peeled and minced
    1 rib celery, trimmed and minced
    1/2 medium carrot, peeled, trimmed, and minced
    2–3 slices prosciutto di Parma (about 1 oz.), finely chopped
    2 chicken livers, finely chopped
    1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 cup hot milk
    1 cup beef, veal, or chicken broth
    1 28-oz. can Italian plum tomato purée
    Preparation:
    Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until soft and translucent but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add celery and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes more. Add prosciutto and chicken livers and cook, stirring, until livers are just cooked and still a little pink, about 1 minute. Add ground chuck, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up meat with the back of the spoon, until just cooked and still a little pink, about 5 minutes more. (To keep meat tender, do not fry or brown.)
    Add wine to pot and cook, stirring, until it has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add hot milk, and cook, stirring occasionally, until milk has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, heat broth and tomato purée together in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until hot, then add to meat mixture in pot. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 1/2 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Makes about 5 cups.

    1/2 c chopped parsley

    1/4 c tomato paste
    1 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    3 Tbsp oil cured black olives (optional)
    2 Tbsp capers (optional)
    Preparation:

    My favourite is a spicy tomato one, though you can leave out the chilis if you like:
