I'm 65 and you're triggering childhood memories of the annual, exhausting Sauce Day, when my parents slaved making 200+ bottles of the stuff out in the tin garden shed - and it always turned out to be the absolutely hottest day of our Australian summer. My job as a little kid was to poke basil leaves through the narrow neck of the large brown beer bottles we used. The bottles were boiled in an old copper under the almond tree. Years later, my widowed mum relaxed the whole process by just making half a dozen bottles at a time in the comfort of her cool kitchen. I've still got cases of those empty bottles dad used. And the copper. Maybe I should start making passata again.
Thanx for sharing beautiful memories. I'm only 28 but good memories with good parents from childhood is always nostalgic. Your memory makes me both sad and happy at the same time.
this is proof of how food can bring back wonderful memories, thank you for sharing it with us! ❤️ I would tell you to take those bottles and make Passata again!
The tomatoes in Australia don’t have taste …they nothing like the ones in italia. Same with the meat. I figured is the dirt and the water, that gives or take flavour out food.
@@Jbwyatt I know what you mean. Home grown "heirloom tomatoes" picked fully ripened when you want to use them come pretty close. But they still don't quite have that luscious smell and depth of flavour. Australia is home, but I wish I were back in the village sometimes.
Yeah, same here, anual event, long day making pasada, I just use mutti now, that’s very good. There’s a few other very good brands, must be from Italy, can try diced tomatoes in cans as well with the pasada.
Here’s a quick tip if you don’t have a vegetable mill, you can use a blender to blend the tomatoes; then strain the seeds out with a colander. I know it isn’t the exact same but it’ll do the job and the sauce will still come out great!
For years I could never eat any Italian food because the sauce was always made from canned tomatoes. I broke out with a rash from the other ingredients that was added.I now eat as much Italian food as I want because of you and your homemade passata. I can eat spaghetti for breakfast lunch and dinner. cold or hot. I love all Italian food. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the chance to eat the food I love most.. By the way I plan on buying a home in Abruzzo and hopefully live there full time this coming year.. Again thank you so much for sharing your passion with us all. Me I'm your #1 fan.
Grown my own tomatos, just made 84 bottles of this magical passata thank you Chef as always! Ive been cooking your recipes for 2 years now and my whole family thanks you. Love you Vincenzo never give up your passion. You made me fall in love with cooking and now I make my living off of cooking in my foodtruck 😊😊😊
Wow, your journey is inspiring! I'm thrilled that my recipes played a part in your cooking success. Homemade passata from homegrown tomatoes sounds incredible, and running a food truck is amazing! Keep spreading the love for cooking and bringing joy through your dishes. Much love and success to you on your culinary adventure! 🍅🚚👨🍳❤️
I always smile when I get to see your Nona. Mine passed away when I was about 7 years old. It is beautiful to see your relationship with her. I know you do, but most certainly cherish every moment you have.
@vincenzosplate so I followed the recipe except I used an electric auger juicer since I did not have a vegetable mill. There was not as much pulp that got through, is there any way to salvage since it is a bit on the liquid side besides adding corn starch?
@@vincenzosplate you are so helpful!!! If I ever have a question about " how did Nona do this again?" I run to your channel and it's all right there for me! 💜
this year, as a gift to me, my father put three roma tomato plants in his garden for me, and I'm SO excited to do this! i'm so happy you even gave canning instructions
My husband inteoduced me to your videos with your bolognese recipe back in February. You inspired me to make my own passata so i can have as much of a home made meal as possible. Grew 12 roma plants and am (not so) patiently waiting for them to ripen up.
Hello Nonna!!!! We Miss You soooooooo Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘 We Love You❤️Vincenzo is still bringing us the Best RUclips Videos!!!!!!!!!!! We are making the Passata this week!!!!! Grazie🇮🇹🌹🇮🇹
Beautiful way to do it my friend. Keep the amazing work I love your videos. The only thing I can recommend on this recipe is the basil before putting it on the bottle put it on your hand and clap 👏 it that release more of the oils and flavor to the passata. Have a beautiful day my friend.
Thank you for teaching this. I have always wanted to learn how to make it. I live in an apartment so I do not have room to mass produce. I am also insecure about canning but I am going to give this a try. By the way you come from the Region of Italy that my Grandparents where from. God bless you and your family. With much gratitude Margaret
Ciao Vincenzo ! I see you discard the water of the tomatoes ! A great idea is to use it for a risotto : Start with vegetable stock, finish with the tomato water with 2 fresh rushed tomatoes, add stracchino or caciotta di capra. Finish the risotto with lemon zest on top. =D
Ciao! 🍅🍚 That's an excellent idea! Using the tomato water for a risotto is a great way to infuse flavor. The combination of fresh tomatoes, cheese, and lemon zest sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing! 😊👨🍳
Why would you throw away that tomato “water”? Save it. Also never use green bell pepper for Anything! There’s no such thing. Green bell peppers are just unripe red, yellow or other color pepper. Ask any true grower, or ask google…. All that work, or I can buy some whole imported canned San Marzano tomatoes. Delicious. I eat them straight from the can. I love your recipes, but this is too much work and cost for me. JMHO
I just made your puttanesca recipe for lunch 30 minutes ago and it's sooo good! Maybe when I get the time to make passata I can use it puttanesca too :)
Grazie mille Vincenzo! I have started making my sauce with a sofritto and passata after watching your videos. Now, I will begin to make my own passata from my garden's roma & san marzano tomatoes. My sauce game is getting serious!!! :)
Ahhh Vincenzo …. I think I’m in love🍅 First year from our own garden tomato’s Basil and chillies ….. 🌶chill jam🍅 tomato relish🍅 tomato sauce🍅 It’s the best ♥️ Now your tomato Passata🍎
Excellent work here learning something new and old. Save old pasta glasses. Now I have read put tomato leaf in with the juice keeps the flavor of summer tomatoes in a bottle sauce homemade so I believe would work here also.
We do our own passata from our own grown tomatoes. I have just done three batches in one day and filled 21 of those larger 720ml jars, about 30kg tomatoes. I will do another day of passata sauce making in a few weeks when more tomatoes are ready. I want about 50 jars in the cupboard for meals for the year. I don't pour away the water, instead I keep the tomatoes on the heat in a big pan with a fan blowing. This evaporates off the water until there is about half the original volume and the sauce is thicker. We use a French Tellier Mouli to 'mill' the tomatoes into a sauce. If you put the tomato sauce through the mouli twice you get more to go through and you get a bit more of the skin chopped and a bit more sauce. I also do all the batches I can in one day without washing out the mouli so I don't loose sauce washing out each time. We add a little citric acid to ensure the tomatoes are acidic enough for long storage too. A stainless steel jam funnel helps to get the sauce into the bottles.... no mess. We heat our bottles in boiling water for 30 minutes but we have the bottles stood upright. A little air escapes when upright but when they cool the lids get a strong vacuum for storage. We have previously put peppers and herbs in the passata but with long storage times the flavour can go strange so we just have tomato. I do like your idea of adding a little extra virgin olive oil as this might protect the top of the tomato sauce. It can get a bit discoloured after a year of storage so maybe the oil is a good idea.
Sounds amazing! Using fresh organic tomatoes from your garden is the best way to make a delicious passata. Can't wait for you to try this recipe and let me know how it goes! 🍅👨🍳
We also make something similar in former Yugoslavia, without a basil though, now everyone make it without a seeds, a miss seeds in soups and pastas which I remember as a kid
That's interesting! 🇮🇹🇷🇸 Food traditions vary across regions, and it's fascinating how recipes evolve over time. Memories of childhood dishes are always special. Keep enjoying the flavors! 😊🍝
@@vincenzosplate yes :) also basil is amazing, I actually made your pasta pomodoro today, was super delicious. You discovered me tons of amazing Italian dishes 🥂
@@vincenzosplate I hope to do so after I move to the house I am in the process of buying. And maybe next summer grow my own tomatoes and basil to make the freshest passata possible! I hope Roma tomatoes will grow well in central Kansas...
I was stationed at AF South, Naples Italy for 3 years. while sightseeing a Greek ruins near Puzzuoli I saw a couple of women making a tomato sauce. I now know what they were making. and I can also. save the water and add a couple of peeled tomatoes and puree in vitamix and you have excellent tomato juice.
@@vincenzosplate No! I only ever buy from the shops, but I really enjoyed your video and will definitely try it this summer with the kids. Thank you! And thanks to Uncle Roger for sending me here.
Here in Canada that would be called a "Food Mill". The oil forms a protective barrier, similar in the way a fat cap seals a portion of potted meat in Older English recipes. Used in pre-refrigeration days.
Yeah. Oil molecules have quite strong and how to say... Like more connections? Probably that's the word. Thats why bacteria can't get through oil and can't harm stuff under it. Edit: science explanation noone asked for
Its a really old trick used in canning and potting for preserving food. I remember my nona preserve a salmon that lasted a year by sealing it with butter.
Thanks for the tips. I'm an Australian and growing my own tomatoes but they are only cherry tomatoes. Instead of going to the the supermarket (Coles and Woolworths in Australia) I'm going to the local fresh food market and buying a box as I have basil growing in my garden
I don't know if you live in Sydney or not, but I used to buy boxes of tomatoes from around Mangrove Mountain, near the Central Coast, and use them for my sauce.
I know the video is about passata but surely there's some better use for the drained liquid than the sewer? A lot of vitamins will have leached into the water and flavor. Perhaps use as base liquid for a veg smoothie? or soup perhaps. Thanks for the video!
You're absolutely right! The liquid from draining passata can indeed contain nutrients and flavors. Repurposing it for a veggie smoothie or soup is a great idea to reduce waste and enhance other dishes. Keep that resourcefulness alive in your kitchen! 🍅🥤🍲👨🍳🇮🇹
I just seen your podcast I like your show their thumbs up I subscribe to your channel now. Nothing like some good fresh Italian pasta and sauces. Keep up the good work thank you for teaching me.😊
Looks beautiful. Makes sense economically if you are growing your own tomatoes. If you have to buy them, you would have to buy so many to have it make sense. A can of tomato purée at the grocery store is like $3.00 or less. That’s about $30.00 worth of tomatoes there if you bought them.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You're right, buying canned tomatoes may seem more economical, but trust me, nothing beats the flavor of fresh tomatoes in traditional Italian cooking 🍅😉. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
You're welcome! Making your own tomato passata is a rewarding culinary adventure. Enjoy creating delicious Italian dishes with your homemade passata. Buon appetito! 🍅🍝👨🍳
Vincenzo, couldn't you use the tomato water for drinks like Bloody Mary? Have you already seen that Uncle Roger had reacted to your egg fried rice? How long can you keep the tomato sauce in a bottle? Thank you for sharing your video of Nonna Igea's tomato sauce recipe with us. Greetings from the Swiss Kitchen Dummy to Suzanne, to Sebastian, to your families in Australia and in Italy and to you, Vincenzo!
Hi my friend! Yes I've seen Uncle Roger reaction.. it seemed he approved my recipe, what do you think? Well, the passata can be kept for at least one year!
you can cook with the tomato water like its normal water but without throwing it out so it thickens. like for soup or even fish meat or chicken dishes. some people throw it though
I’ve been making your recipes the past couple of weeks. I was making something like the “country lasagna” from you’re reaction video. After making your lasagna I’m sold. Now I’m planning to make some sauce. Only question I have is how long will the sauce last if I use this process?
I'm glad you've been enjoying the recipes! Homemade sauce, if stored properly in airtight containers, can last around 5-7 days in the refrigerator. If you want to store it longer, consider freezing in portions for up to 3-6 months. Enjoy your delicious creations! 🍝🥫❄️
Hi Vincenzo I really love your recipe! Could you share the way to make guanciale at home? Cuz it's super hard to find guanciale at my place. Thank you and have a nice day!! 😊😊😊
Vincenzo, I have greatly enjoyed your content. I make passata the same way, but I almost had a heart attack when you dumped the tomato water down the drain. Even though this video is 2 years old, I was yelling, “nooooooooooo!” at the screen. Somewhere my granny is shaking her head at you for the wastefulness, lol! The tomato water should be the base for some of the most rich and delicious veggie stocks you can make. You set the liquid aside for a later time when you are ready to make stock if need be. Typically, when I do passata I plan on cooking stock at the same time. Only one mess to clean up at the end. 😊 You can do whatever kind of vegetables you like in that tomato water, but it all melds together beautifully and freezes like a dream for future quick and healthy meals of vegetable soup, or stew, or even chili. Don’t throw away that hard earned tomato water! That’s your next ingredient for future meals, friends. Again, very much enjoying the recipes and the channel. Take care.
Vincenzo I have some San Marzano tomatoes growing, thanks to you I know what to make with them (Pizza sauce!) can you show as how you would do it? the italian way
Absolutely, my friend! I'd love to show you how to make authentic Italian pizza sauce using San Marzano tomatoes. Stay tuned for an upcoming video where I'll share the step-by-step process. 🍅🍕
Came here straight after Uncle Roger’s reaction of your egg fried rice! You should do more challenges with other youtubers who specialize in different cuisines Vincenzo. 👍🏻
What is your favourite dish to enjoy a beautiful homemade tomato sauce with?
Spaghetti!
Pizza and Spaghetti
There is so much....Spaghetti, Tagliatelle, Gnocchi, Farfalle and my favorite Orecchiette. I love all of them.
Love to put on your pizza dough recipe & ravioli❤️❤️❤️
Ravioli base, Spaghetti, Lasagna, Gnocchi, Meatballs and also a Pizza base that has added tomato paste.

We do our own passata from our own grown tomatoes. I have just done three batches in one day and filled 21 of those larger 720ml jars, about 30kg tomatoes. I will do another day of passata sauce making in a few weeks when more tomatoes are ready. I want about 50 jars in the cupboard for meals for the year.

I also do all the batches I can in one day without washing out the mouli so I don't loose sauce washing out each time. We add a little citric acid to ensure the tomatoes are acidic enough for long storage too.
A stainless steel jam funnel helps to get the sauce into the bottles.... no mess.
We heat our bottles in boiling water for 30 minutes but we have the bottles stood upright. A little air escapes when upright but when they cool the lids get a strong vacuum for storage.
We have previously put peppers and herbs in the passata but with long storage times the flavour can go strange so we just have tomato.
I do like your idea of adding a little extra virgin olive oil as this might protect the top of the tomato sauce. It can get a bit discoloured after a year of storage so maybe the oil is a good idea.

I just bought a large can (90 oz) of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes (DOP). How does that change the cooking time?
All you have to do is to blend them and you are ready to use the sauce. Peeled tomatoes in a can are pretty much ready to go
This looks so good and relatively easy to make. I think I'm going to use Canning jars the medium ones. Crossing my fingers this goes well

@@vincenzosplate No! I only ever buy from the shops, but I really enjoyed your video and will definitely try it this summer with the kids. Thank you! And thanks to Uncle Roger for sending me here.
Simple and beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Here in Canada that would be called a "Food Mill". The oil forms a protective barrier, similar in the way a fat cap seals a portion of potted meat in Older English recipes. Used in pre-refrigeration days.
that's an old trick told by my dad to cover the liquid with oil to make it last longer before there's a fridge
thats great!
Cool way
Yeah. Oil molecules have quite strong and how to say... Like more connections? Probably that's the word. Thats why bacteria can't get through oil and can't harm stuff under it.
Edit: science explanation noone asked for
Cool trick!
Its a really old trick used in canning and potting for preserving food. I remember my nona preserve a salmon that lasted a year by sealing it with butter.
Thanks for the tips. I'm an Australian and growing my own tomatoes but they are only cherry tomatoes. Instead of going to the the supermarket (Coles and Woolworths in Australia) I'm going to the local fresh food market and buying a box as I have basil growing in my garden
I don't know if you live in Sydney or not, but I used to buy boxes of tomatoes from around Mangrove Mountain, near the Central Coast, and use them for my sauce.
OMG Who on earth dislike this ? I guess domino's guys haha. As always great video!!!
Good question! 🤔 definitely someone who doesn't appreciate good food 🙄
Thank you so much ❤
I know the video is about passata but surely there's some better use for the drained liquid than the sewer? A lot of vitamins will have leached into the water and flavor. Perhaps use as base liquid for a veg smoothie? or soup perhaps.
Thanks for the video!
You're absolutely right! The liquid from draining passata can indeed contain nutrients and flavors. Repurposing it for a veggie smoothie or soup is a great idea to reduce waste and enhance other dishes. Keep that resourcefulness alive in your kitchen! 🍅🥤🍲👨🍳🇮🇹
I just seen your podcast I like your show their thumbs up I subscribe to your channel now. Nothing like some good fresh Italian pasta and sauces. Keep up the good work thank you for teaching me.😊
I have to have a ring tone with Vincenzo saying "it's time to make the tomato sauce"! Make it happen please 🎉
Hahahah tha would be funny 🤣🤣
Same! I would use this!!
Looks beautiful. Makes sense economically if you are growing your own tomatoes. If you have to buy them, you would have to buy so many to have it make sense. A can of tomato purée at the grocery store is like $3.00 or less. That’s about $30.00 worth of tomatoes there if you bought them.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You're right, buying canned tomatoes may seem more economical, but trust me, nothing beats the flavor of fresh tomatoes in traditional Italian cooking 🍅😉. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Che nonna carina che c'hai ❤️❤️
è un amore! Non vedo l'ora di rivederla 🥰
I will follow your example in this video and use red peppers. For some reason green bell peppers cause a headache for me. Thank you for this recipe!
Hey there! That's a great idea to use red peppers instead. Thanks for trying out the recipe! 😊👍
Thank you so much Vincenzo! I can't wait to try this (and make a mess) in my kitchen!
Don’t worry about the mess, it’s worth it! 😍
Hi, I followed your recipe and I’m so happy and excited. Thank you!!!!😋💙
You are so welcome!
Vincenzo, just so you know, do not throw away the liquid. It is extremely good with a double vodka. Delicious.
Ahaha thank you! I'll try it out
Bloody Mary cocktail, tomato and vodka.
Love you Vincenzo man, im choosing now better pasta, better sauce and every other thing. Will try to do this soon. Thanks for passion.
I appreciate the love and passion for Italian cuisine! 🍝🇮🇹 Keep cooking with heart, and I'm here to help anytime. Buon appetito! 😊👨🍳👍
If you don't have a vegetable mill, can you also just use a mixer to create the passata? Or should you then remove the peel from the tomatoes?
you should remove the peel before!
I want to try this right away! I'm dying to use fresh passata for my Bolognese instead of store-bought.
oh please make passata as soon as possible 😍
Any alternative for vegetable mill if i dont have it at home? Thanks Vicenzo. :)
Where do you keep the bottles After you have boild them? In the fridge or in a kitchen cabinets?
you can store them in the pantry
@@vincenzosplate and for how long do they stay good for?
Hi. I find no good tomato passata where I live. This will be so interesting to try. Thank you
You're welcome! Making your own tomato passata is a rewarding culinary adventure. Enjoy creating delicious Italian dishes with your homemade passata. Buon appetito! 🍅🍝👨🍳
Vincenzo, couldn't you use the tomato water for drinks like Bloody Mary?
Have you already seen that Uncle Roger had reacted to your egg fried rice?
How long can you keep the tomato sauce in a bottle?
Thank you for sharing your video of Nonna Igea's tomato sauce recipe with us.
Greetings from the Swiss Kitchen Dummy to Suzanne, to Sebastian, to your families in Australia and in Italy and to you, Vincenzo!
Hi my friend! Yes I've seen Uncle Roger reaction.. it seemed he approved my recipe, what do you think?
Well, the passata can be kept for at least one year!
you can cook with the tomato water like its normal water but without throwing it out so it thickens. like for soup or even fish meat or chicken dishes. some people throw it though
@@toby8814 - Thank you!
@@60frederick Bloody Mary was the exact question I had too. I could go for one now with some bacon salt.
I would cook that water to boil the pasta if i was using the sauce right away.😋
I’ve been making your recipes the past couple of weeks. I was making something like the “country lasagna” from you’re reaction video. After making your lasagna I’m sold. Now I’m planning to make some sauce. Only question I have is how long will the sauce last if I use this process?
I'm glad you've been enjoying the recipes! Homemade sauce, if stored properly in airtight containers, can last around 5-7 days in the refrigerator. If you want to store it longer, consider freezing in portions for up to 3-6 months. Enjoy your delicious creations! 🍝🥫❄️
Hi Vincenzo
I really love your recipe! Could you share the way to make guanciale at home? Cuz it's super hard to find guanciale at my place.
Thank you and have a nice day!! 😊😊😊
Hi, I'm working on that, hope to share it with you soon! 🤞🏻
Many thanks to you!
Vincenzo, I have greatly enjoyed your content. I make passata the same way, but I almost had a heart attack when you dumped the tomato water down the drain. Even though this video is 2 years old, I was yelling, “nooooooooooo!” at the screen. Somewhere my granny is shaking her head at you for the wastefulness, lol! The tomato water should be the base for some of the most rich and delicious veggie stocks you can make. You set the liquid aside for a later time when you are ready to make stock if need be. Typically, when I do passata I plan on cooking stock at the same time. Only one mess to clean up at the end. 😊 You can do whatever kind of vegetables you like in that tomato water, but it all melds together beautifully and freezes like a dream for future quick and healthy meals of vegetable soup, or stew, or even chili. Don’t throw away that hard earned tomato water! That’s your next ingredient for future meals, friends. Again, very much enjoying the recipes and the channel. Take care.
My tomatoes aren't ripe yet, but as soon as they will be, I'll do my own passata ♥️
Yay! Can't wait 🤩
Thank you so much. I learned a great deal.
I'm so glad! Are you going to try making this recipe?
@@vincenzosplate
Yes hopefully soon
Love it thank you 😍
