I cook a lot of Hazan's recipes, but not the pasta sauce. Too much butter, and I like starting with fresh tomatoes if I have the time.

Her pork simmered in milk is fabulous. Kosher too ... Big Grin

If you’re going to use canned tomatoes, San Marzanos are the ones you want. If you are going to use fresh you had best grow your own. Commercial tomatoes, even Romas, are universally terrible.

It always amazed me that I could not buy a decent tomato when I lived in CA. That may be different now.

My auntie tells me that when our family had a restaurant, way back in the dark ages, Jewish customers would come and ask for the “kosher meat” dishes. (Pork, of course. Wink.) Chinese restaurant…

Hiya, Steve. Smiler

I was waiting to read all the posts before I added my mite; you're right about canned. But if you're relegated to canned, don't be afraid to add a wee pinch of sugar. Does wonders for balancing everything.
Like you say, grow your own, but then can them yourself. That might be your best shot.
Need to study on which onions to use, too.

Do you by any chance have that recipe? I tried one that purported to be hers but it really did not work out very well.

My Mom used canned stewed tomatoes in her pasta sauce. It was sweeter than what we've been making lately for sure.

Might be time to try that again. ThumbsUp

Let me know if you find stewed tomatoes. I looked in vain a few months ago. Even though it looks like they are still around, I couldn't find a store that carried them. I wonder if they've fallen out of favor....

Actually, “world’s best pasta sauce” doesn’t specify tomatoes. If you open up the field, there are other amazing, unusual types. Like pesto from walnuts or assortments of herbs, wine sauces, cream sauces…
