- Filipino style spaghetti sauce:
- Step 1: Sautee minced garlic and chopped onions in oil
- Step 2: Pour in 3-4 cups of tomato sauce (crushed tomato sauce if canned)
- Step 3: Add and mix in sugar
- Step 4: Add rosemary, coriander, cheddar and Gloucester cheese
- Step 5: Add hot water if sauce is too sweet or sticky
- Step 6: When the meatballs are cooked (browned and cut a meatball in half and make sure that the inside isn't pink) add in sauce with green bell pepper and stir and keep heating (to absorb flavour)
- *Remember to turn the heat off or lower it down, or the sauce might burn. Increase the heat once you are ready to cook the sauce in with the meatballs.
- If you want to make the sauce from scratch (optional):
- 1. Make a cross shaped cut on top of all the tomatoes
- 2. Dip all the tomatoes in the boiling water for 2 minutes
- 3. Using a strainer, pick up all tomatoes and dip into cold water (to cool down and make peeling easier)
- 4. Peel the skin off and slice in half. Take the core and seeds out
- 5. Slice the tomatoes into smaller pieces then drain the liquid out (this makes a more viscous sauce and cooking time is cut down)
- 6. Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic. Sautee in oil until fragrant
- 7. Pour all tomatoes into pan. Heat for about 20 minutes
- 8. Add sugar and keep mixing. Add in salt and pepper if preferred
