My Pie Quest
 

I made my own pizza for a while. I bought the oven stone and really tried. I just could never get the sauce quite right. My kids got sick of pizza really fast :)

Oh yeah, that does look like a tasty pie :)

Nice recipe I'll try it and give you a review :)

Thanks guys. Jim, get a can of San Marzano DOP. Scalfani makes the sweetest ones I have tried recently. Drain the tomatoes then squeeze out the excess liquid. I use a fine colander for this and tap the sides gently. Then just chop the tomatoes very fine. Mix them with 1/3 of a cup or more (or less suiting your taste) of good olive oil. That's my recipe. It's pretty simple. You can add some salt if you like also (or garlic, or oregano) but I tend to add those on top with some grated romano. Yum!

You're making me hungry....

Pasta with all the ingredients from my garden of from in front of my rifle today.

That's my problem GunnCat. I always tried to get too fancy.

Jim, I know. I used to think there was some secret to the sauce, but when I ate great pies I always swore to myself that the taste was so simple. My ex, who was Italian would say her nana would make sauce from just salt and pepper. The trick is finding the sweetest tomatoes you can find. Years ago I would add sugar, but I could taste sugar in my sauce; I don't like that. Let me know if you try again Jim. I highly recommend the starters from sourdo. I just made my first pie with the 2nd culture and it's awesome. Refresh the page and have a look at the new images.

I agree 100% that's why I grow my own tomatoes.....

Fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, a few herbs from the garden, fresh garlic, salt and pepper - and I always add a pinch of hot red pepper.....

Damn I'm hungry now. :(

Munchies got the munchies now... that looks yummy.
