Tomato Sauce for pasta and pizza. I will never buy bottle sauce again.

Hmmm, where is the garlic? What about herbs like basil? I suppose commercially canned tomatoes have enough salt in them and I suspect the butter would to. But I like my tomato sauce with a lot more gusto than that recipe. I make my own from tomatoes I grow myself. I chop and leave the onions in it (rather than removing it) and I add lots and lots of garlic (from the local garlic farm) along with peppers (bell or Italian frying and usually throw in a hot one too) also from my own garden or the farm stand if I don't have enough. I saute the peppers onions and garlic in some olive oil then put in the tomatoes and let it cook all day. Lots of fresh basil (also from my garden) and a bay leaf along with salt and pepper. I too will rarely buy commercial jarred sauce because I am spoiled on my own. I cook it one day and can it the next. So far this year I have done over 40 quarts.

Did you ever try doing this with your own fresh tomatoes? This sounds like the way my grandmother did it. Of course, that was 60-70 years ago, her tomatoes all came from the garden or the basement, where she had shelves full of her fresh canned vegetables, including, whole tomatoes, tomato juice and tomato sauce (which she made with onion and butter).
Whenever, I have tomatoes that I haven't eaten and I think that it is time to 'do or dump' them, I make the sauce out of these tomatoes. It even works for cherry tomatoes, but you need a lot.

There are so many ways to make a good sauce. Not one of my Italian relatives made it exactly the same. I can't use peppers because they bother my stomach. My Mom sometimes puts them in her sauce but not always.
Plum tomatoes are good to use because they are meaty. I would have a hard time omitting garlic though

I received the cookbook. I only have three must have cookbooks and this one will be number 4. The other 30 or so are seldom looked at. I've been taking a few at at time to my guild's free table.
