Recipe: Old Fashioned Tomato Sauce

Old Fashioned Tomato Sauce

This recipe originated from the movie, The Godfather. During the movie for a brief scene, they explain how they made tomato sauce. That movie is one of the best of all time, so I decided to try the recipe. After making it more than once, I’ve tweaked it a bit to add some more flavor. This recipe is best made in large bulk quantities. Preserve the extra in jars and freeze it. Everything I use is fresh, organic, and healthy.
