How To Make Authentic Italian Marinara Sauce

[@StitchOtter]

I am a marinara fiend, and I can tell you that this recipe is absolutely delicious. It takes a bit of patience and time to do it right, but it's absolutely worth it. It's a great baseline sauce; you can add mushrooms, Italian sausage, ground turkey, chorizo, whatever... honestly the sauce is so tasty that even in it's most basic form you could just sit and eat it with a spoon. Thank you for helping me take my pasta sauce game to the next level!

[@jaysaldana2498]

Paulie told vinnie don’t put too many onions in the sauce. Vinnie put 3small onions while paulie slice the garlic so thin that they liquefied in the pan, it proved to be a good system..👌🏾

The more I cook, the more i realize it seems to be more or less about using fresh, clean ingredients, and paying close attention to what you're doing........ I came here to see how an authentic chef does it, and I realize what I've been doing is more or less the same process..... I always got great results, but I was curious to see how it would be done in an authentic italian kitchen. Great to see that I've been doing thing right. Not a professional cook by any means, I'm just a guy who enjoys the process...... Thanks so much for the great video.

The tomatos used here and by most restauraunts is Stanislaus brand. By far the best i have ever tasted, they use a patented low heating canning process resulting in a tomato that isnt bitterd by citric acid. Idk why Resteraunts choose to keep this a secret, It isnt available to consumers. The tomatos make this recipe.

[@ImJohnConstantine]

Totally agree. Used Stan for 14 years.

[@righteyeartistry156]

I found them on line. They only sell the #10 can size though.

[@ImJohnConstantine]

@@righteyeartistry156 Yes. #10 cans are what we use in the restaurant biz. What you can do is make a large batch, cool it properly, and put in Glad 2 cup plastic containers (with lids), and freeze them. I do this regularly, (for home use), and the sauce, reheated, comes out amazing with the Stan brand products.

[@danielcuozzo5233]

Chef Frrank I see that you have five number 10 cans there but in the ingredients directions it was saying 228 ounce cans. Is that for a smaller amount of marinara sauce?

Meh… measurements are not important. Not in a restaurant anyway. Ounces, pounds, tablespoons, who really cares? Not me!

[@deanzona6503]

suggestion: remove the seeds from the tomatoes as blending the seeds can lead to bitterness. It is a bit of work, but worth it

[@MatthewSmith-if5wp]

What is the onion to tomato ratio? Just need to know for making a smaller batch.

[@jean-pierrethibaudeau7201]

About 2 medium sized onions per 3 cans of tomatoes.

2red onions for every #10 can of tomatoes

[@u235u235u235]

@@always.biggie2854 slightly less. his ingredient proportions are for two 28oz cans, but he's using 6 lbs, 9oz cans. wish he gave the recipe for the #10 jar he was using as well. i think the #10 jar is 105 oz, and the four 28 oz jars is 112 oz? the important thing is to avoid going over on salt in my opinion, the other ingredients aren't so important to get exactly right. there's a salt break point for flavor where you ruin a dish/sauce if you cross it. and that line will crash your dish hard, really hard.

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

4:11 that’s a very common misconception when making a Pomodoro or as we like to call it here a marinara. You are using Alta Cucina’s, I am very familiar with Stanislaus’s products and all of their practices on that farm. They’re literally is no need to cook these tomatoes beyond the beginnings of a simmer. This is true because the tomatoes are naturally very sweet and the only reason you would spend any time simmering a tomato is if the acidity was not at par and you want to reduce the acidity. In fact, you’re doing this tomato dis justice by cooking it too long as the flavor of tomato is going to degrade the more it sits on heat. You will get a much fresher tasting sauce if you just heat it up and make sure your sofrito is properly cooked before adding the tomatoes. I don’t blame you though as this is a very common technique used in many restaurants and homes. However, the tomatoes used vary for many reasons but you, have the right tomato and don’t have to do that. My recommendation as an Italian chef, make your sofrito, grind the tomatoes, add them to the sofrito, and store over night in the walk in. Put the pot on very low heat the next day and keep that heat as low as possible throughout production.

"Marinara" like mar or marine. Does that mean seafood?

[@donnyfortino5579]

Exactly buddy! The way my nonna explained it to me, is that the word, marinara, means, "Mariners sauce". Apparently when sailors or, "Mariners" came back from America and brought tomatoes with them, the people of Napoli started making a sauce out of it and called it, Marinara, as it was the Mariners that showed them the main ingredient...

[@tonydetuna1923]

Why some say no onion in marinara and some say add onion?

[@mrdeadsea7775]

If I were to add onion, I'd add white onion and blend the mixture after. It's not nice to have chunks of onion (esp. yellow, green or brown) floating in your pizza or pasta sauce. My preference is no onion, lots of garlic, basil and good quality olive oil. Definitely add the basil last otherwise you'll be wasting it. Also add some (extra) freshly minced garlic in 10ish minutes before it finishes cooking (saute'd garlic and fresh garlic work well). You can also use anchovies to salt the sauce in place of table salt. And if it's too thin for what you want it for, you can also make an olive oil rue.. 'just add a bit of strong flour before adding moisture or tomatoes (make sure you cook the flour taste out of the rue before you add tomatoes), just be sure to leave some of the olive oil "loose" from the rue as well (the loose olive oil is a good thing in a marinara sauce). Some people add bay leaf, black pepper, chilli, parsley, wine, vinegar, citrus juice, butter, Parmesan.. etc...depends what you like and what you're using it for. Just few simple ingredients in the right proportion, done the right way is best IMHO.

SO MANY things are wrong with this video that it's making my head explode, and I'm not even a professional chef. **DO NOT use extra virgin olive oil for frying. Use it for dressings, dips, and cold dishes. Regular olive oil is for frying. "Extra virgin" olive oil contains aromatics that degrade under high temperatures; using it in hot dishes essentially cooks the "extra virgin" out of the olive oil. Using extra virgin to make marinara is just a stupid way to waste money. **It's an absolute waste of time to chop the onions that finely if you are going to blend them later. Julienne is a good enough cut here; the extra surface area you get from a dice is meaningless considering the pieces will all end up the same thickness as if you had julienned them. **Don't cook your onions and garlic at the same time unless you like undercooked onions or burnt garlic. Let me say that one again for people just learning how to cook: DON'T COOK YOUR ONIONS AND GARLIC AT THE SAME TIME. Garlic burns quickly and gets very bitter; onions take longer. Cook your onions until they are nearly done, then add your garlic. **Don't fry that many onions in a pan with such a small base area; you cannot fry them that way, you will only steam them. If you want to actually fry your onions instead of steaming them, you can't have a layer of onion several inches deep. **The sugar/salt ratio is just absurd. If you're adding more sugar than salt, you're not making marinara sauce, you're making a tomato sauce dessert. **The amount of oil those onions are swimming around in makes me want to throw up. **Last, but not least, I have no idea why you would use red onions in this. This is probably the most nitpicky comment I have, so I put it last.

“It makes me want to cry,” Garlic, you see, is not quite the staple of Italian cuisine Americans think it is. Depending on who you speak to, onions are a controversial ingredient too - and don’t even think of ever combining the two in a single dish. Perhaps the immigrants thought that if they called their salsa, their sugo, their ragu by the term gravy, it would make their food-and maybe themselves-more palatable to American tastes. Marinara, ragu, spaghetti sauce, red sauce, gravy; no matter how you cook it, they are all forms of tomato sauce. A basic ingredient list for tomato sauce is composed of tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil and oregano. Marinara Sauce Pasta alla marinara ("mariner style" pasta) does exist in Italy, but it’s usually prepared with shellfish or olives-sometimes both. In the United States, the term "marinara" refers to the simple tomato-based "red" sauce that’s ubiquitous in Italian-American cooking, slathered on everything from pasta to meat. About 4 million Italians immigrated to America from 1880 to 1920. The majority (about 85 percent) came from southern Italy, where political and economic circumstances left the region extremely impoverished, so it would be the cuisines of Sicily, Calabria, Campania, Abruzzi and Molise (and not Venice) that would make their mark in the United States. Women went from scraping to put food on the table to striving to be the best cook in the neighborhood. It was no longer about necessity but now what Nonna cooks what best.

[@janetmartin2314]

Ok, I've been reading on this topic--most Italian cooks say no onions, and many also say no garlic. Few add both basil and oregano, with some saying either/or. I'm up for a simple and fresh tasting tomato sauce, but this all does get confusing

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

you can only make authentic from scratch during tomatoes harvest season and you need a good source of tomatoes, so really traditionally people canned their tomatoes and used them later as it's a good way to preserve them. The difference is they might be a bit more acidic, if that's the case put a pinch of sugar. Other than that if you want to use fresh ripe tomatoes, just bleach them, peel them, then crush them and don't use sugar, but you have to make sure they're ripe. That means, you have to buy them from your local farmer or go pick them yourself, otherwise the tomatoes will have been picked before being ripe while they still a bit green and will turn red during transportation, in that case you better use canned tomatoes which have been picked when they're ripe and canned automatically.

[@silentdionysus686]
