I disagree with the author, right out of the gate Patsy's sauce is better than Rao's. Patsy's wins Test Kitchen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAZTRYWzeOg

I grow my own:

Heirloom tomatoes (5-6 types, vine ripened, especially “Black Krim”)
Basil
Thyme
Oregano
Rosemary
Italian Parsley
Chives

I add:

Garlic
Salt
Carmelized Red Onions (a separate recipe)
Brown Sugar (if necessary, to knock back the acidity)

Throw them all in the pot and boil until tomatoes are cooked into sauce.

Puree in the blender.

Freeze in dinner sized portions.

The only better tomato sauce I’ve ever had is at Cafe Lago, in Seattle. They even gave us their recipe and we couldn’t recreate it. Otherwise, I win!
