Tips

  • Don't chop onions and garlic everyday; make a sugo and freeze it.
  • Use a food processor to dice onions and grate garlic if you can't do it by hand.
  • Using whole tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes can result in better quality, but crushed tomatoes can be used to skip a step.
  • Clean out your cans after adding tomatoes.
  • The sugo lasts a week in the fridge or three months in the freezer.
  • Freezing in large ice cube molds is a good idea.
