Your home will smell like Sunday dinner with this classic and true Italian tomato sauce recipe. This is my family recipe brought with us from Italy and passed down through our generations. The key is to use passata, which is pure tomato puree. This sauce is perfect for any pasta or pizza and even stands out on its own with its rich aromatics and flavor. This is, hands down, my go-to sauce recipe for all occasions.

Get ready to see how I make my version, of the "Classic" Italian tomato sauce. I will be using some simple, key ingredients - including one ingredient, that really makes a huge difference in the flavor of your sauce. Comes out delicious each and every time. Looking forward to sharing it with you :)

Ingredients for your tomato sauce:
► Generous amount of olive oil – enough to easily coat the bottom of your sauce pot (if you think you have enough, add a touch more 😊)
► 1 – 2 cloves of garlic, minced
► Meatballs (use 4 - 6 or more, depending on batch size otherwise, 2/person is always nice)
► 1 piece of lamb stew bone (or any lamb)
► Tomato puree or Passata
► Salt and Italian seasoning or oregano (all to taste)
► 1 bay leaf
► 1 onion cut in half, or in quarters
► 1 red pepper, cut into 4 wedges
► Optional: 4 – 6 mushrooms
► Optional: 2 – 4 sun-dried tomatoes

Cooking directions:
► Add olive oil and garlic to your sauce pot – cook garlic for 1 to 2 minutes on med heat.
► Add meatballs and lamb, and just brown the outsides. Now add your Passata and all the other ingredients. Stir.
► Bring to a boil, and then simmer on low for 2 - 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Lid off for a thicker sauce.
► Add to your favorite pasta and enjoy 👌
