re: Recipes/tips for making homemade spaghetti and sauce

Shoot. I was just reminded by an episode of one of Jacques Pépin’s shows that I forgot about. I have to remember to do this from now on. Before crushing the whole, peeled canned tomatoes by hand, his buxom daughter took a pair of scissors to them to cut them up first so they wouldn’t “explode” and squirt tomato juice all over the place. Even when I try to be as careful as I can I still wind up squirting some tomato juice on myself. Never again!
