Thanks for this! After 35 years and Italian upbringing, making marinara from “scratch,” tonight I hesitated b4 buying cans out of habit…thought why wouldn’t I just use fresh? Googled. Found this. Walked over to the produce section, bought tomatoes, and voila, fun night playing w food and making a great pot of sauce. Hmmm. Now to make fresh pasta…….

I use the seeds for making fresella or frisella. It depends on the region.
I mix the seeds with some olive oil, origano and salt and put it on the fresella . Sometimes they like also to put on some house made tuna. It is a good apetizer.

Just found your blog on Google. You are my tomato savior! This year, with the heavy rains and other weather anomalies, our tomatoes are all “ugly” but incredibly tasty (as evidenced by the nibble marks in most of them). Looking forward to my first venture in seeding, skinning and souping some tomatoes!

Berneda-I can’t tell you how many tomotoes because if you have 4 different plants they could be all different sizes and weights. For example, some of my Bradywine tomatoes weigh over a pound and some of my celebrity tomatoes range from a few ounces to 8 ounces each. You can peel and seed the ones you have which are very ripe right now and then refrigerate or even freeze them until you have enough to make sauce.

Hi. This sauce looks great. My question is I have four different tomatoe plants and some are ripe and some are still coming. How many tomatoes (not cups) are you using in this recipe so I know when I get started? Thanks so much.

Also, I love ‘marinara sauce’ and because of this website, i learned how to make it from
scratch from my home grown tomataoes…..Usually, I only made home-made-vegetable-soup from
my home-grown tomatoes; but, I promise you that I’ll make the ”marinara” sauce from scratch
and then let “you-all” know how it was………..Thanks Again for all the info………….M. Davis, Lumberton, N. C.
P.S. Thanks for the info that “”Roma”" tomatoes have ‘less’ seeds than regular tomatoes……..

Thanks so much for the “”seeding information.” I’ve always wondered how to seed them BECAUSE of the problem
of ”diverticulitis”……..This info has been so so so much help……………
