Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

Here's a yummy homemade spaghetti sauce recipe for you to try. The tomatoes really have to be peeled and the seeds removed if you are going to use fresh, in-season ones.

Usually, this is done by plunging the tomatoes into boiling water for a minute, which breaks and loosens the skin.

However, I tried roasting them and then removing the peel and seeds after they cooled and I believe that the roasting method is less trouble, permits the processing of lots of tomatoes all at once, and that furthermore, the roasted flavor adds something extra to the sauce.

1)    4 whole tomatoes
2)    1 whole onion, coarse chop
3)    1 whole fennel (coarse chop the bottom bulb)
4)    3 whole garlic, minced
5)    3 whole bay leaves
6)    10 leaves fresh basil
7)    0.25 cup white wine
8)    3 tablespoon olive oil
9)    1 teaspoon lemon zest

•    Roast the tomatoes at 450 till skin chars and splits
•    Cool to touch and peel off skins, remove seeds
•    Saute #2 and 3 in the olive oil until transparent
•    Add all other remaining ingredients and the tomatoes and simmer
