i was always intimidated to make my own pasta sauce, it doesn't look so hard, thank you for teaching

[vomi_de_porc]

This is the best recipe. I'm coming to this video for the last 4 years, every year as it's the tomato period in Central Europe. and every time I search for the video, I can't find it. I have to scroll my likes videos to find it. Youtube doesn't like sharing real recipe:) Anyways, I'm trying this one every year, and everyone around me just love it. Thank you for sharing

[hellobye]

The whole family has that interesting Italian accent😂😂. I dig it🤔🤔🤔😊😊

[amsiri]

I like how real you are! Love the vids!

[isaacjeanteube]

Seriously, this is the best sauce I've ever tried in my 20 years cooking. Thank you for the video.

[jenreckard]

Omgosh, Lisa, you are a natural! Simple, straightforward, and easy to follow. I can't wait to try this sauce!

[Saraf]

It seems really delicious, finally someone who reflects true Italian cuisine! You're great cook Lisa! Greetings from Italy! 😘

[Weepingghoul]

I love her accent and she has such a charming personality :)

[ektklk]

Love this-keep the family recipes coming!

[jasmustang]

Thank you Lisa!!!! Due to my husband's heart issues I now cook from scratch. Tomato sauce is one thing I haven't tackled yet. Thinking it was too time consuming. So thank you so much for

[leiawapuhi]

Thank you so much. Keep the family recipes coming.

[debbiecasey-jones]

Did anyone else notice that all of a sudden there's more sauce in the pot when Lisa came after she said to simmer it? Like almost double the amount was there normally if you are simmering it there would be less not more!
I love her sauce and normally make my own as well the way my mom taught me as I grew up in a mainly Italian neighborhood. The other reason I make my own is my hubby has a reaction to many preservatives

[robkuijpers]

Very good recipe, tasty! Love when she says 'reduce it', the next shot it nearly doubles in volume.

[betacamsx-dallevhsallehdv]

You are amazing, Lisa! I love cooking. Yes, right like you do.

[mariacasella]

OMG!i never knew til now seeing Lisa's IG post that they have a YouTube channel...I watched you for years then didn't have a way to watch til now!!!im so so happy and why don't you have into the millions?!?!?!your awesome

[dinadaly]

Made this sauce tonight. I usually use canned San Marzano tomatoes, but this is the best marinara I've ever made! Thank you for sharing!

[peggybachler]

Omgosh I’m going to definitely do this and can it!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[lauradesimone]

Thank you for your recipe! I grew up using canned San Marzano tomatoes but this year's tomato season will make fresh using your recipe! When I made fresh tomato sauce in the past it was a quick sauce with cherry tomatoes. Your recipe is for a more traditional Sunday Sauce and I bet it tastes great!
