  • this guy is fun to watch

  • I use a plastic spoon.. It's still good, but does that mean that i will get bad luck? :O

  • @MajaF93 No, it means you'll get cancer from BPA.

  • YOU ARE THE MANNNNN!!!! I made this tonight. I even made my own fish paste because I could find any & I'm glad that I didn't. It's very easy to make, plus 0 preservatives. I used all fresh tomatoes (cans defeat my purpose so I avoid when I can). I used this recipe w/a Morrocan dish here on youtube by cookingwithalia. OMG!!! My husband went through the roof. It was just that good & the only thing I had to do to finish that recipe after this sauce was add paprika & calmari & serve with rice! 5 ★s

  • No garlic...

  • @jedmaster111 Are you saying you don't like garlic? Or did you miss the fact that this recipe asks for 4 cloves of garlic? If you don't like garlic, just don't use it. It should have a fairly nice taste because there is enough of a blend of flavors to do without it. Although, for garlic lovers, something will be missing. Just saying. Happy eating!

  • Could you add some white wine?

  • i find if you don't have time to simmer the sauce for an hour (like when i was making it for my friends birthday 30 mins away) just throw it piping hot into a glass jar (stays hot for a long time!) and wait a couple days to eat it. it'll be better than when than fresh. note: this was spaghetti sauce, but is there that much difference?

  • Easily one of the best tomato sauces I have ever had.

  • I want to make them own with my own.....can....don't think so. Give me a recipe with fresh tomatoes? Puleeeeeeze??

  • @Gaho2Many I used 6 large roma tomatoes (washed thoroughly and juiced them, then added the pulp back in to add texture to the sauce. It was amazing.

  • most chefs use this canned tomato though since they are the best..

  • Real chiefs don't use cans.

  • @3li0NS Says the person who can't even SPELL chef, and obviously has no experience working in ANY real kitchen.

  • @3li0NS >_0 (eye figit)x3... u stoopid 

  • italian parsley doesn't look like parsley...

  • whats the sort of orange stuff that comes up when you simmer the sauce?

  • @ivangrozny27 i think it is caused by the acidity in the tomatoes reacting with the heat. if you've ever seen a roasted tomato before you'll notice the same reaction going on there. also, if you have a recipe that calls for carrots, it will turn out more orange in color than a recipe without them. hope this helps!

  • @Chaya8 thanks, cos i didnt know why it was happening. I guess like he says keep stirring, simmer for 90 mins, and add water and you should get a good sauce. Can't wait to try it tbh.

  • @ivangrozny27 I didn't add any water, but I used all fresh tomatoes which provided all the water I needed I guess. It came out perfect and I simmered for 2 1/2 hrs.

  • @TheEthericOne do they have to be plum tomatoes or do the vine ones give same result?

  • chef john why wud you add onions and sugur if you are using san marzano tomatoe's? I have learned to only use garlic, basil, and olive oil?

  • Comment removed

  • fuucckk I cant find san marzano tomatoes @ my grocery store :P

  • looks like those tomatoes have so much red dye in them. but i would like to try this with fresh tomotoes thanks for the video

  • @heckler171

    I think that's just the lighting and that the tomatoes were very ripe when canned.

  • One question, how long does this sauce lasts in the fridge?

  • look at "my tomato sauce" for a good alternative if you want....this sauce is good though..cook cook cook.

  • so... has anyone made this? I want a second opinion :)

  • my girlfriend is allergic to anchovies (and other shellfish:( ) can i use something instead of anchovy paste?

  • @dresnor just use salt. I'm assuming he just wants that salty sea taste rather than the fish taste so salt should be fine.

  • @dresnor anchovy is a fish...not a shellfish......it still seems gross though, and girls are usually "allergic" to gross so a good idea not to include it!

  • @orlendatube lol i know what you mean, but i made the mistake of making ceaser dressing with some anchovy paste and she broke out in hives and swelled up. it was a legit allergic reation. she also can't eat squid or octopus. though not shellfish, all those evoke a very real, very negative reaction.

  • Magnificent and weird tomatoes . :)

  • I love your recipes! I just checked out your website and can't wait to try some of the recipes. Thanks for sharing!!

  • what's the yellow stuff, please?

  • Why anchovie paste? Is it really needed?

  • @Chlozerz its probably in there as a seasoning (for the salt) and a slight thickening agent

  • @Chlozerz he calls anchovy "itialian MSG"-it enhances the natural flavors of foods (makes tomatoes more tomatoe-y for example....) I still thiunk its gross....

  • Did you really just use a ceramic pot on a range? Tsp tsk tsk

  • Great sauce and video. Just did a homemade tomato sauce on my cook show "cook with adam" recently.

  • Sehr , sehr gutes Rezept. Ich bin begeistert.

    Christian

  • Too delicious ;^9

    Thx

  • why add the paste if u added the tomatos?

  • you...are... THE KING!!!

  • @SpankRamen2 would this sauce go well with some spaghetti and meat balls/?

  • If i kept this in the fridge, how long would it last? Planning on pre-making a big batch, anyone know?

  • @0asian1nvasion0 On the uber-safe side, <one week. I guess you could freeze it and it would keep for 6 months. Just do NOT freeze the sauce with the macaroni. Oh, and label it well and more than once. I have no idea what half the stuff in my freezer is anymore.

  • @0asian1nvasion0 All I remember is people in south Italy cooking giant batches all day outside their houses and putting the sauce in glass bottles, filled almost to the top and topped with a little oil to avoid having air in it before putting a metal cap to it with the proper tool. keep in the refrigerator and then I am pretty sure they use those until the next tomato season. TBH I dont know if they add anything to it to make it last that long.

  • Is it better to use these kind of canned tomatoes? Rather than canned tomatoes that are already shredded? Sorry my english, couldnt remember the correct words.

  • I grew up in Italy, I can confirm those are the tomatos used there. I remember my mom sending me to the store to buy a few cans of 'pomodori pelati' (literally it means peeled tomatoes), that's how they are commonly called because they are canned without skin.

    When we got a garden my brother went to the store tasking for peeled tomatoes seeds and the clerk laughed at him. (I guess your supposed to ask for S.Marzano)

  • @Stanco1919 Ha ha ha. That's funny!

  • Anchovy paste no thanks

  • @CheapCrap12311 He said it wouldn't effect the sauce with a fishy taste or aroma, it actually gives it a smoky sweet taste =D

  • Excellent video thanks for the recipe.

  • yummy :|

  • you might as well buy it from a jar if your going to use tinned tomatoes.

  • dude I could use that for chilli!!!

  • OMG!!I'm so hungry now!

  • Silly question- would the seeds still in the canned tomatoes grow if planted? Or have they been heat processed too long? Also, our store sells tomatoes labeled "from the San Marzano region." Is that what I should be buying? They were pretty pricey but if you think they are better than home-grown, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for all your wonderful videos!

  • @abuelita23xxx No, they wouldn't grow. You can buy seeds for growing your own, but I think it's a combination of the San Marzano plum variety grown in that volcanic-enriched soil that makes them heavenly. (It's the only canned tomato my Nonna would use.)

  • k...why is this guy adding tomato paste? really! you don't need the extra step! wtf? really...sugar? its a sauce not a cake!

  • Chef John, do you freeze batches of your tomato sauce?  If so, does it thaw well?

  • This is an awesome recipe. I added a whole carrot while it was simmering, and it added a nice extra flavor to it.

  • The true sawce baws.

  • @no3ggs4u depends on what tomatoes you use. I used Roma tomatoes. (Which worked excellently considering they were from the garden). I would rate the sauce an 8/10.

  • Would you care to get all Alton Brown on us and tell us how the "Italian MSG" works?

  • Did anyone try this? If so how would u rate it on a scale of 1-10. Thanks :)

  • I am the one thousandth person to like this video! All hail Chef John!

  • great recipe.. if you have 3 hours to make it that is >.>

  • Great video! Wish every instructional video was done as well as this one! Thanks for sharing! :)

  • Lol....I Love the wooden spoon......

  • I usually just chop up six or so roma tomatoes + other veggies to make red sauce. Though usually it's more orange.

  • Never mind what the front label says...if there is no authentic San Marzano code on the back then they are fake ones...do not pay that price for the fakes.

  • This is awesome. Instead of the anchov paste, I poured in a Filipino patis sauce. Awesome. Cannot even taste it.  You definitely have to use the Marz tomatoes, they make all the difference in the world. Thanks Chef for this one!!!!!

  • Awsome looks yummi

  • great recipe :) btw wats th song u sued lol :)

  • 0:51 describes my penis

  • @FocusedMatt let's fuck.

  • @FocusedMatt "Almost seedless" is not a good thing.

  • @GMGvanS - Er, seeds mess with the texture and give the sauce a bitter taste.

  • @Shezmu He was talking about his penis being almost seedless.

  • @GMGvanS - I know. ;p

    Actually, I was talking about sauses but it's funnier the other way.

  • Dude ur like the best!!!!

    Is it possible 2 put it on pizza doe??

  • @cabmen1 no you cant, sorry.

  • @cabmen1 he says it's all purpose so yeah u can

  • I hope you washed your hands first you sick bastard.

  • @MrCoal11 why would u call him a sick bastard?

  • Don't splash your camera people.

  • Hi, my father's alergic to fish, is there a way that I can omit the anchovy paste?

  • but your pan is metal?

  • put less salt in and follow the recipe then

  • I made this it was so salty and I used carrots instead of celery it was so bad...

  • @Aceinthehole7269 this is what i needed to know thank you...next video

  • Splash My Camera? O_O

  • @nmw1304 you don't film every time you cook?

  • @nmw1304 I read your comment before I watched the video and couldn't figure out what you meant. Then I heard him say it and started laughing. lol

  • could you do one with fresh tomatoes?

  • i tried to make my own sauce T.T didnt turn out well..sighs...

  • A little bit of a little bit

  • Why do you cook with olive oil? It's poisonous.

  • @xoxo249o olive oil is not poisonous unless you get stupid with it. all oils are toxic if they are heated high enough to start smoking. this is because the fat chains in the oil begin breaking down, and the resulting smoke releases free radicals, which can be toxic if you breathe it in. olive oil is as safe as any other oil (and healthier than most), even under high heat, but does have a slightly lower flash point than some other oils, so you have to be careful not to start a fire.

  • Looks like a plan in itself!!! I was looking for something to merge with my standard sauce for all purpose..Thanks..

  • It needs some meat. Meatballs, Pork Chops, Sausage and Braciole. Really makes the sauce incredible. Great simple sauce though. Nice easy instruction., Good Work! Cheers!

  • @RamboBramb0 boss

  • @RamboBramb0 What lol ?

  • @RamboBramb0 dude ur comment brightened up my day! HAHAHA XD

  • @xKJx25 thanks man, I thought it was quite apropriate

    but im just kidding, i love this show

  • @RamboBramb0 lololololol

  • @RamboBramb0 0.o

  • It is interesting, Being Italian/Sicilian, this is entirely different than how my family makes it, but - look at it. It is amazing looking. The texture, the TASTE the video brings. Really great. Not to mention the choreography and commentary. Second to none.

  • @neurocosm no1 cares if ur italian jack ass no1 is impressed

  • @coopiero1 - It was a compliment to the chef, you idiot. Stop acting like a deformed adopted orphaned baby. 

  • @neurocosm i h8 italians like you thinking that you own the world of food your mother needs 2 bath more reguarly

  • @coopiero1 - Your comment is interesting since you don't even "know" me. You are a racist little boy. Try to go through live happy - hate never helped anyone. Oh, and learn how to make a tomato sauce inferior human.

  • @neurocosm being italian is not a race there for i am not racist my comment was a touch xenophobic but i don't really care get your head out of your garlic crusted asshole.oh yeh and nice job helping the nazi's out in WW2

  • @coopiero1 - you are a racist. disgusting pig of a person. not even human. you are a disgrace to your family. how does hating everything every day of your life feel? you must be a lonely stupid fool. your brain is a disease and your thoughts are what will ultimately be what consumes you. pathetic sad and disturbed. voicing out to someone you don't even know because of something you read somewhere about a war you did not participate in. how ridiculous. something must have happened to you as a kid

  • @neurocosm lol, what did he say?

  • @coopiero1 you apparently haven't gone to italy and met a real italian , not those jersey shores idiots

  • how long can this keep in fridge?

  • fu ck u 

  • Perfect.

  • @XTINASDISCIPLE "everything you say sound like a question ?" that's badly written. you should go back to school

  • celery in tomato sauce ? fail.

  • i hope u washed your hands

  • Only a McDonalds chef cooks from a can.

  • @dvdfrnzwbr i dont see anything from a can here apart from the san marzano tomatoes....

  • @dvdfrnzwbr chef usually grows his own San Marzano tomatoes in his farm at italy, but this time he didn't have the time to go. Excuse him on that. Dumbass.

  • @PeteBeast You and chef should meet togeter at McDonalds for Super Sized Gay Sex.

  • @PeteBeast awwww mister pete needs to protect his butt-buddy mr -cocksucking chef faggot... amirite?

  • made this today -Thank U

    Cathy Starr*

  • Tomato sauce from a jar. Now that sounds fresh.

  • needs stock.

  • In Norway we add sausage and macaroni. Fantastic !

  • Makes perfect sense to me Chef John.

  • i hope youre making money off of all these advertisements. Cuz if not, a lot of my time is being wasted for nothing.

    Love the channel

  • @BONEKILL666 he makes millions of dollars :D

  • Be careful not to splash your camera xDDD

  • Could you do more vegetable recipes? kale? spinach? beans? you know...the really challenging foods? I'd love to have the same food porn for vegetarians.

  • @franweng

    Vegetarians are like the gay market for "food porn". They're not exactly the majority is what I'm getting at.

  • Please do a tomato sauce video using fresh picked tomatos that is suitable for home canning. Yea, I know those vids are out there, but I would like to see how you would do it.

  • that looks pretty tasty!

  • you are awesome : )

  • People let the guy make the sauce that he likes... Be thankful he put it up for you jerk offs.. If you don't like the sauce then why the fuck are you watching this. Btw I'm Italian and my family makes it a lil bit different but i think u did a very good job. As for smart asses fuck off u wanna be Italians..

  • im Italian and my whole family cooks really well..and that doesn't even look close to the real thing...im sorry..u didnt even spice it....that's not good they u seem to make it

  • can you make a recipe with a smooth sauce?

  • so if i make this i can jsut add the sauce with some cooked spagehetti? and its ready to eat..oh with some grated parmesan ofcourse?

  • Nice!

  • Con le mani?? ma che.. mica siamo primitivi!

  • Can I store this in the fridge for a few months like I can for commercial pasta sauce?

  • I have a couple problems with your recipe, but its just a nitpicky thing. Sure, those tomatoes maybe good, but they are canned. Not fresh from my garden or fresh from the market. I'd rather puree and deseed my own fresh tomatoes. As for adding water, is that necessary? It seems as if water is supposed to be evaporated in order for the sauce to thicken...?

  • @punkmusicmetal

    Why don't you make a sauce video Master Chef?

  • @punkmusicmetal Why are people so self-righteous when it comes to cooking, especially Italian food? Don't act like you don't go to Walmart and by a jar of Ragu.

  • @jimmychauv

    my dad really doesn't...

  • @jimmychauv some people like to make things by hand not store bought. gives some people self pride knowing they made it.

  • @jimmychauv ragu is the nastiest stuff. Just don't do it!

  • @jimmychauv please tell me you didn't just spell buy wrong

  • @punkmusicmetal Sure...fresh would be nice but we can't get fresh San Marzano Tomatoes in the US :)

  • 1. Simmering the sauce makes it delicious and thick.

    2. In Italy, parsley is called "prezzemolo", but Chef John was clearly making a funny joke about how they just say parsley rather than Italian parsley.

  • i have never seen someone make sauce quite like this before. anchovie paste? sugar? and there really isn't a need in cooking it for an hour and a half. You only cook it that long for meat sauces, and the reason for that is to let the meat tenderize and aquire flavor from the sauce. interesting....

  • @iownupianoandcooking I guess you haven't watched very many people make sauce before then. I've seen plenty of chefs add water or sugar to their sauces. The sauce is a slow cooking sauce (completely untrue that you only do this with meat sauces), so water needs to be added to prevent the sauce from thickening too much and too quickly. My grandmother, an Italian woman, always slow cooked her tomato sauces and added water.

  • For crushing the tomato, i found a way to crush it, just a potato presser

  • i cook my sauce for like... a day and then refrigerate over night, then simmer on low for an hour the next day.

    just a little olive oil

    bout one clove garlic minced... saute just until soft

    fill the pot with well crushed or liquefied tomatoes

    add bout a tsp or two of basil oregano and parsley

    bout half cup grated Romano

    and a BONE! any bone, like you are making soup, sometimes i just use a couple chicken legs or ribs... anything

    cook like i said above taking the bones out after 2 to 4 hours

  • Why is it bad luck to use a wooden spoon?

  • thanks for the video :)

  • you have a very good voice.

  • The sound that a flat tire makes. What do they call that in Italy??
