I also use it to make an easy appetizer: Place this sauce and a block of goat's cheese in a smallish shallow dish, bake at 300 degrees (f) for 30 minutes--sprinkle with chopped fresh basil and serve with rounds of toasted French bread. It's basically a goat cheese pizza app, but delicious and looks lovely!Elusive D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15384729213638962305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-88452203962177782172007-03-29T04:30:00.000+08:002007-03-29T04:30:00.000+08:00I am like an evangelist for this sauce myself.

Stick around this year for more good eats.<BR/><BR/>jackson - give it a try, the sauce is really good.<BR/><BR/>whistler - I think if you open the instant stuff it's like a cop out esp if you know you can make this great stuff in 45 mins.<BR/><BR/>tummythoz - you probably can use ordinary salted butter (I haven't tried as all I use is Lurpak for my baking) but do adjust the salt levels.<BR/><BR/>pille - it is! I was so surprised at how simple and good it tasted.<BR/><BR/>shilpa - yeah, I used to do that too but in this recipe, the butter is the element which gives it the sweetness. Thxs so much for adding me in yr links!<BR/><BR/>fatboybakes - nothing is free on astro! Yup, the great delia. Definitely worthwhile to catch as she'll teach the basics.<BR/><BR/>melting wok - The butter gives it the sweet taste so you don't need to add sugar. If you use Cirio canned tomatoes combined with butter, no sour taste. I haven't experimented with fresh tomatoes as the ones we get in Malaysia are not sun ripened so they taste sour. Prego is not too expensive here but I find it too rich tasting. This has a lighter but sweeter taste. Hope you get home and enjoy all those eats.boo_licioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727039659969643180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-1167998534800159962007-01-05T20:02:00.000+08:002007-01-05T20:02:00.000+08:00Hi boo_licious, like shilpa, I like adding sugar a...Hi boo_licious, like shilpa, I like adding sugar as well with some basil, parsley, & oregano flakes occasionally for that extra taste bud. Somehow I find canned tomatoes a tad sour vs. using canned tomato puree, and then add fresh diced roma tomatoes (sweet) & regular tomatoes. Btw, I had the same problem here tryinig out different sauces and find that Prego is simply the best of choice. Is that costly in M'sia ? Don't leave out your parmesan & romano cheese, can't be complete without them, now ya ?<BR/><BR/>Btw, I enjoyed your extensive listings of eats, which allows me to be picky when I'm at home, cheers ! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-1167991051021931772007-01-05T17:57:00.000+08:002007-01-05T17:57:00.000+08:00wow, delia's on? aiyo, you mean eventually channel...wow, delia's on? aiyo, you mean eventually channel 26 have to pay ah? bummer.<BR/><BR/>love the recipe. already salivating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-1167990402648287962007-01-05T17:46:00.000+08:002007-01-05T17:46:00.000+08:00Hi boo_licious,I sometimes add a small amount of s...Hi boo_licious,<BR/><BR/>I sometimes add a small amount of sugar to offset the sour taste in my tomato sauces, don't know if you've tried that.<BR/><BR/>Like claude-olivier above, I've also added you to my blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-1167986094243296282007-01-05T16:34:00.000+08:002007-01-05T16:34:00.000+08:00Sounds like a great and simple recipe, definitely ...Sounds like a great and simple recipe, definitely worth a try!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-1167978187554241072007-01-05T14:23:00.000+08:002007-01-05T14:23:00.000+08:00Sounds ec.
