Cut up the tomatoes and drain/chop the spinach, chop and cook the broccoli to your liking (don’t overcook it). Cook the pasta. Mix it all together with the mild cheddar sauce.
You can add meat if you want, but you’ll be okay without it (this sounds similar to a pasta dish I make, but I put chicken in mine).

disease and nastiness
As I type this I am making some sauce.I sweated diced onions,carrots and
celery in olive oil and then pureed it in processor.Par boiled my tomatoes
and deskinned them.Chopped them in quarters or small pieces and pureed them
also.Added all ingredients back to pot brought to boil and turned down to
simmer.It has been simmering for ove an hour now and I am now starting to
add my seasonings.Fresh basil leaves from my deck and ground basil from
last years leaves I dried.Don’t have oregano…contin
After I sweat out the onions and mix in the paste, can I transfer it to a
crock pot and let it slow cook over night?
Great recipe! Thanks!
your so right
Lately, I’ve been starting the sauce on the stove like you did, get the
tomatoes up to temperature, and then cover the pan and toss it in the oven
at 250 degrees for 3-4 hours The oven does a better job of regulating
temperature
@dagda825 Totally…that would be great.
The first shot I started adding the tomatoes, showing you how to crush them
by hand. As the screen slips to the next shot, I’ve added 2 – 3 large cans
of tomatoes…everything that’s in the can goes into the sauce 😉
Thanks! Spread the word!
It sounds great…generally when I use fresh tomatoes for pasta sauce, I’m
only cooking them for 5 – 10 minutes…to keep the fresh feel and taste;
but there’s a lot of ways to skin a cat!
good video but lose the salt
ahhh…what’s a little dirt and grime amongst friends….
Love long cooked sauces…all day! But if I only have a couple hours, I can
get get a good sauce made!
just to add, personally i love a hearty sauce with some italian sausage and
bell pepper in mine to beef it up a little bit.. I’d cook the sausage in a
skillet and throw it in with the sauce but the bell pepper let it sit and
possibly add some mushrooms with it.. I usually doctor up my prego sauce
but I can’t wait to try a sauce from scratch. Loved your video !!
Hi, can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned and how many would I need?
I think it was just the tomatoes. I wouldn’t use the water in the can…
I’d drain it
A fast tomato sauce.. 3 hours?
Thank You! I have been searching everywhere to find someone who (on video)
uses ingredients from scratch. You showed every step, and it was very
helpful. Thank You!!!
I used canned tomatoes. Two 15 – 16 oz cans…
It’s a three hour cooking process condensed into 7 minutes, do you really
think you are going to see every process? *facepalm*
Lol. He’s just a troll. That was funny though.
ok
So I will substitute parsley for it.Oh and I sweated 4 garlic cloves with
onions earlier too.Might add more minced garlic to taste.Still need to add
salt and a little sugar to calm down the acidic taste in tomatoes.When
taste is achieved I will cook ground beef drain it and add it to sauce.Even
after tasting it before my seasonings are in,it is really good.I used romas
and 3-5 better boys all together.Hope someone can glean from my
posts.Thanks.
Easy, yes; but fast? 4 hours cooking a tomatoe sauce is not fast…
So…to be honest, I would not make this recipe with Fresh Tomatoes. Search
my channel for Spaghetti Pomodoro – I would do something closer to that.
Very fast/light cooking. Or even Spaghetti with Tomato and Artichoke. If
you insist…then I’d probably say 15 – 20 large tomatoes are about
equivalent…but you want to remove the skins.
Cheese and broccoli pasta with cubed ham or chicken (if you’re trying to do a one dish meal)
If you brown the sausage then put the can of crush tomatoes in with it. Stew it for about 15-20mins, meanwhile start cooking the bow tie pasta till it’s al dente. In another pan take the spinach, season with salt and pepper with butter and cook it until it’s heated through. Combine everything together. You got yourself a good pasta dish.
Cheddar-Broccoli-Pasta Salad:

Method
Mix sugar and mayonnaise; set aside. Boil noodles until done; drain in colander. Run cold water over pasta to chill. In a large bowl combine pasta, onion, cheddar cheese, and broccoli. Pour desired amount of dressing over and toss well. Serve cold.
Notes:
The sauce or dressing mixture is usually a 2:1 ratio of mayonnaise and sugar. Add as much as you desire to the pasta salad to moisten
Well you are gonna have to buy a couple of items from the grocery store but this recipe is worth it!
