Frank Sinatra’s Pasta Sauce Recipe

(as told to Sid Mark on the 7/4/86 “Sounds of Sinatra” program)

2 tbsp. light olive oil 3 whole cloves garlic (pierced w/fork) 2 cans oval “Italian type” tomatoes Salt, pepper, oregano to taste Basil, bay leaves, 1 tsp. finely chopped parsley (if desired) Quoting Mr. S: (Fragmented sentences and all.)

FRANK SINATRA tells Sid Mark, step-by-step 

HOW FRANK Makes TOMATO SAUCE

“You begin with a skillet and you use a light kind of olive oil and put in about 2 tbsp. full and put in 3 whole cloves of Garlic. I usually puncture the cloves with a fork so it will exude the flavor I want. When the garlic is tanned or light brown take it out of the oil and throw it away. Keep the oil." 

"For 4 people you can take 2 cans of the oval shaped Tomato and you put each can in a blender and count about a “slow four” to grind it up and put it in a saucepan…do that with both cans. 

Add a pinch of salt and a little bit of black pepper and little bit of oregano…maybe ½ tsp. full. Add the oil. I used to watch my dad do it. He’d just take his fingers and he’d take so much and throw it in the pot. And you let it simmer." … 

"Now…  VERY IMPORTANT because this is what you don’t find in restaurants because they can’t take the time to do it. 

You take a good sized tablespoon, and whatever oil or foreign matter that comes to the top; just keep skimming it until you have a pure red sauce. 

Low flame and cook for about ½ hour, and just let it sit there until you are ready to turn on your water for your pasta.

 "You want to put a couple of bay leaves and fresh basil is wonderful…at the last minute."

"So you’ve got in the sauce olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, oregano, a couple of basil leaves and, if you wish, a teaspoon - tablespoon. 

Of finely chopped parsley and that’s the way to make a simple pasta sauce.”

"Basta!"
