I can’t wait to try this recipe!!!! If I were I use the jarred minced garlic how much do you think would substitute the 1/4 cup of chopped?

I would use slightly less, but not much. If you love garlic like I do, use the same amount!
I make something very similar but add celery, red and green peppers and freshly sliced mushrooms. Never tried it with sausage though – thanks for the tip.
Hey! I’m an old friend of your mom. I love all your recipes and your web site. For this sauce should I use the San Marzono tomatoes? So you see a big difference between them and a regular canned tomatoe?
I will try this sauce very soon. I make some that is quite like this. I will make some of each and see which one is best.
You don’t have garlic listed in the ingredients however in the instructions you say to saute the garlic and onion. so my question is how much garlic? (if using minced garlic or how many cloves of fresh garlic)
I made this today. It’s beyond good! It’s my go-to for sauce.
Thank you!
I so am going to try this – it’s different from my Nonna’s. Today I have Mrs. Ritti’s simmering away. She brought out meatballs to you if you were playing in her yard. Did your Nonna’s fingers smell like garlic? Mine did!!! I feel bad for kids that did not have an Italian grandmother, they were robbed!!!
This is an excellent recipe. I’ve made this back in early 2014. Thanks chef.
Thanks George! Glad you are diggin it!
