Squid/ Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat. Only if it is cooked right. I used to buy squid for my pops a few times a year and he would make a delectable calamari in a tomato sauce. It was so tender and flavorful. Sadly, I never got him to write it down for me, but he did say just cook it a long time. What did that mean?I tried to make it myself a few times, since he passed. They all failed. Too tough. Too fishy. Etc, etc, etc. Finally, my wife suggested that we should just let it cook for a long time. Who am I to say no to my wife and dad?We did just that, with some carrots. Wow! Not what my dad made, but he would have loved it nevertheless.If you like it saucy, then one pound of squid is just find. But if like a touch of sauce, then use two pounds of squid. The carrots may seem to be an odd touch, but they add to the amazing flavor. Hopefully, you will enjoy this as much as we did.Enjoy!

Minced pork can be used to cook many delicious dishes and in this recipe we’ll make it into meatballs and cook in tomato sauce. The meat turns out tender and will smell delicious, and the tomato sauce goes well with rice. Sounds good doesn’t it? (Contributed by Heina Phuong)

I learned this while I was abroad. This is an easy version that's light on the oil. It's a simple and delicious all-purpose sauce with no frills!Be sure not to burn the garlic when cooking it. You can make various versions by adding meat, vegetables, white sauce, sour cream, curry powder, etc. If you want to have a thicker sauce, you can add some katakuriko potato starch to adjust the thickness.

These cheese-stuffed nuggets were intended for my daughter, but funnily it was my wife who liked them most. They work great in a sub sandwich, since the thick sauce won't run everywhere. Or you can go the traditional route and just ladle them atop a plate of noodles.

If you plan to accompany this delicious Italian tomato sauce with spaghetti, you can accentuate the flavor of the spaghetti in the way they normally do in Italy, just mix the spaghetti with the sauce in a pan, heat them for 5 minutes and serve it with grated Parmesan cheese on top.I recommend you store it in the refrigerator in a sealed glass container.This spectacular and delicious recipe is ideal with your favorite pasta, to arrange a cannelloni or lasagna, you can also add meatballs in it and serve with boiled white rice.It is a versatile and very delicious recipe, I hope you prepare it and enjoy it at home.

I sometimes cooked chicken in tomato sauce.When I added cheese and penne pasta, it was delicious. Since then, this has been one of my family's favorite dishes.When you are cooking the penne pasta... bring it to a boil, and stir for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and leave it for the amount of time indicated on the package. Penne pasta with tomato sauce is tasty, so please give it a try! Recipe by Kaiko

My neighbor gave me a bottle of Olive Oil, Basil and Garlic tomato sauce. I have some bell peppers and ground pork. So I decided to make this.

Just invented this recipe inspired from tasty's Chicken alfredo but mine was in red sauce.

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.

Creamy banana pepper tomato sauce with spinach

I was inspired by a chicken dish that I ate at an Italian restaurant to make this recipe.Simmer longer to make the chicken softer and the onions creamier. Please shorten the simmering time if you prefer your onions to retain their shape.Add more sugar and ketchup into the sauce if you like it sweeter.I usually leave some sauce for the following day to enjoy some pasta for lunch.

I came up with this recipe after much thought. Tomato sauce is just not enough, but if you add some heavy cream, it is so delicious. For the tomato sauce I usedDuring Step 2, you can simmer over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes.If you can't make the sauce at the same time as the pasta, add some hot salt water to the sauce pan instead.-You can use just the tomatoes and tuna.-You can serve 2~3 people if you use a lot of sauce.
