Hi Michael, just wanted to say thanks for these inspiring videos and delicious recipes you prepare! There is something soothing in the way you explain, easy to follow, without the extra fuss and complicated methods you always deliver the best recipes videos on YouTube! My boyfriend who didn't know anything about cooking got inspired by your videos and started with this simple recipe and it was great. :)
Love your channel! I used to make everything from scratch but I just don't have the time to anymore. Your recipes are quick AND tasty. Thank you for taking the time to share them- it is appreciated!

Looks awesome! I make a home made spaghetti sauce from scratch when I make spaghetti. It's a meat sauce...and I have a guideline I go by depending on how much I want to make...but it's usually done to taste each time, so I really have no exact measurements. I also like mine a little sweet. Seems the sugar cuts down some of the acidity of the tomatoes.
how do you think the shallots taste as compared w/ onions for this? sometimes i make homemade sauce, but i too like jarred sauces except for prego brand (too sweet for me). also, those are not the authentic san marzano tomatoes -- theyre a USA product. the real san marzano are italian
I've watched virtually every one of your recipes and I must say...You da' man!! I'd eat 90% of what you prepare; it all looks fantastic!! Thanks for all these great recipes and ideas!!
I'll bet this sauce would work nicely on a home-made pizza!
i'm italian an in our culture we consider food very important, my nonna and mum both still make there own sauce, but for my self personally 1 who has the time 2 i think pre jarred sauce tastes pretty good! great vid,
Oh man, San Marzano canned tomatoes, you sir know your shit. Hard to find those puppies where I live, thankfully Amazon sells them (at a ludicrous markup but hey what can you do).
Just watched a vid of Chef Todd Mohr's, quick shrimp pizza. He just puts diced tomatoes on a prepackaged pizza dough--no onion, salt, olive oil. Awful. Either take a bit of time to make your own as you have done here, or use storebought sauce, which I agree with you is quite good.
Can we store it in Fridge and for how long period..please reply

You didn't need the butter or the onions, but you came very close to what the authentic marinara sauce really is.
P.S. The onions together with the garlic cancel each other out in the recipe!

so do you start the butter/onions on low-med heat? i'm always afraid of burning my butter.
dboyzero 11 months ago
@dboyzero
The heat was around medium.
I rent an apartment and it has an electric stove/oven.
Different stove produce different heat, you have to watch your food and stove temperature until you get used to how hot your stovetop gets etc.
I have burned butter before, we all do :)

Memekiller666 11 months ago
@Memekiller666
Will, take one pound of ground beef or ground turkey or ground pork and cook up in your pot for a few minutes till done.
Then empty and drain your pot, then proceed from the start of this video with the butter and continue.
Thank you for your question!
