Pizza Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes
This homemade pizza sauce with fresh tomatoes is super easy to make, tasty, and packed with flavor! The sauce will last up to seven days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for future use.
Pork Agrodolce
Agrodolce, a generic Italian term for any type of sweet and sour condiment, really shines when used for braising chunks of succulent pork shoulder. This soul-warming comfort food is amazing served on rice, pasta, polenta, or, as seen here, a big pile of ricotta mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if Italians barbecue like we do here in the States, but the sauce very much reminded me of something we'd brush on a rack of ribs while sipping a cold beer.
Pizza Burgers II
Open faced burgers with two kinds of meat and cheese in a tomato sauce. Wonderful recipe for birthday parties, football parties. You can also store meat mixture in the freezer for a later date! My whole family loves them. Very easy to make!
