Answer by VeganIndieGirl
When me and my mum make tomato sauce this is what we do –

Chop up a red onion and then fry it in olive oil.
Add some chopped garlic.
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes.
While simmering add a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, some chopped fresh basil and some mixed herbs.
We have it with pasta, fish EVERYTHING!

  3. I love going back to her old videos and watching them again and seeing the difference in her and comparing the video quality! :)

  4. Who makes these rules? She’s from Italy. She puts salt and pepper in everything to season. 

  5. her voice is higher now, I wonder if she talks more peppier/higher especially for the videos.

  6. “Process with tuning on Michelle Kwan.” I am pretty sure that’s Italian for “Please like my video.”

  13. I know she’s skinnier now, but she doesn’t look fat here. I guess all chef’s must have to watch their weight being around food all day

  14. Laura, you look fantastic. I want to add though, no pepper goes in the original basic Italian sauce 😛 Just onion OR garlic, basil and salt!

    2 cloves garlic
    1 (12oz)tomato paste
    2 lg. cans crushed tomatoes
    1 lg. can tomato sauce or puree
    fresh basil
    italian seasoning, parsely, salt, pepper
    2 tsp. sugar
    parmesian or romano grated cheese
    meatballs & italilan sausage

    Brown garlic in olive oil in bottom of large sauce pan. Add one can of of paste and one can of water. Stir. Add remaining cans of tomatoes and spices (amounts to your taste)and let simmer for 3 1/2 – 4 hours. In the meantime, fry or broil meatballs and sausage. Let meat cook in sauce for at least hour.
    The large amount this makes, is great for freezing leftover in 1qt containers.
