I used to splurge on imported Italian canned tomatoes but now with inflation they are really out of my budget so I use my old trick of adding a tablespoon of tomato paste per can of whole Canadian canned tomatoes and I find this reproduces the sweetness and thickness pretty closely.

Thank you for all you do! Your recipes are foolproof and I recommend you to everyone i know!

I have never tried the Alta Cucina tomatoes, but rather Stanislaus’ 7/11 ground tomatoes in #10 can. AND you can typically get them at a small Italian store right in Cobleskill called Perrones. Apptox. $6-$7/ can. They are so good I typically eat the tomatoes right out of the can with a spoon!!! Let me know if you’d like more info.

I've been making my own pizza sauce and dough for years. I make enough to freeze for about 5 pizzas (or if I need any sort of tomato sauce) in my Dutch oven. I don't measure anything anymore, I just know how much I need for 5 or 6 helpings. Of course it always turns out slightly different every time but that makes it fun.

We are simpatico! I can shop these tomatoes from the Gordon's Food Service store where I live. Once opened, I usually make a double batch of Italian meat sauce and save the rest in the fridge for about a week to add to soups and whatever. They also freeze well!

So fun! Can’t find them here in San Diego but I will look further. What do you lose if you leave out the alcohol? Just curious. Thank you and cannot wait for your book!

I immediately looked up chef stores in Seattle, and found these tomatoes! I will be making the large recipe soon, and sharing it with friends, as well! I’m always so disappointed in store-bought tomato sauces. I live alone, but I may as well stock my freezer with delicious food!
