Red Gold produces over 100 different styles and flavors of tomato products in 20 different sizes and containers and they’ve been business for 70 years. This review features Red Gold’s Redpack tomatoes. I received a (pretty cool!) Redpack prize pack tin that included 2 28 oz. cans of Redpack tomatoes (one diced and one whole peeled), a hand-held can opener, pasta server, spatula, pizza cutter and magnets. One Moms Own Words reader will win this same prize pack.
Easy Tomato Sauce Recipe
The following recipe is a modified version of Ellie Krieger’s Easy Tomato Sauce Recipe featured on the Food Network. It really is easy! For the purpose of this review, I used both cans of Red Pack tomatoes, one crushed and one whole peeled. Ellie’s recipe called for two cans of whole peeled and then chopped. (I figure I saved myself from chopping that second can!) Also, I added 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper to give the sauce a little kick! (You may opt to leave the crushed red pepper out like Ellie does.)
Recipe: Easy Tomato Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Redpack (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
- 1 Redpack (28 ounce can) crushed tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer.
- Add the remaining ingredients and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Preparation time: 10 minute(s)
Cooking time: 37 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 6
This sauce is so fast and simple to make and the Redpack tomatoes are so full of flavor that I don’t miss the sugar that many sauces call for. The extra kitchen gadgets in the prize pack always come in handy in the kitchen. The tin is just over 2 feet tall and has about a 12″ diameter. What will I use it for? Storage? A trash can? I’m not sure – but it sure is big and colorful!

YUK, no I don’t, but my husband has LOTS of them, lol. I do not like cooked tomatoes, although I do like the flavor of them in macaroni and tomatoes, have to use the whole ones and cut them in half though so I get the juice and can pick out the tomatoes, my husband eats that part for me.
I basically “eye ball” it each time I make it; I generally use crushed tomatoes, lots of basil, a little sugar, onions and lots of garlic, tomato paste.
I do make a tomato spaghetti sauce, but I also love to dress pasta in olive oil, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and Parmesan.
Personal I don’t make my own spaghetti sauce but Ragu is my favorite.
i dont have a spag sauce recipe, but i have a great chili recipe, that my mom gave me! we love it!

My mom’s from-scratch tomato sauce is wonderful! It takes a long time, but it’s just great!

My favorite is just a can of diced tomatoes over hot pasta, with a little herbage (basil, oregano, thyme) either fresh or dried. Simple, light, delicious!
My recipe came from an Italian friend. I love it and it is a family favorite

We have a top secret one from Grandma

My favorite spaghetti sauce recipe is made with tomatoes, tomato juice, chili powder, garlic powder and lots of other spices.
I don’t have a favorite sauce recipe.
I just kind of “wing” it everytime….and make it by taste. No one seems to complain, so I guess its okay. lol.

I go half and half depending on prices. I’m definitely not afraid to make my own, but a canned or jarred sauce makes spaghetti the fastest thing I can have on the table if I’m in a rush.
I dont have a fav sauce
yes, it was aunt’s recipe!
I love it in spaghetti, salsa, in soups, I get all my recipes online,
I use a recipe a lovely italian lady gave me many years ago.

I never make homemade spaghetti sauce – I just use the jarred versions. But I do use canned tomatoes when we make chili! It gives it a delicious flavor!

My husband makes a great vegetarian sauce from scratch, with canned tomatoes, fresh garlic, onion, black olives, and his secret ingredients!
My grandmother’s French recipe is the best!

My fave came from a basic pizza sauce recipe! Just a few extra ingredients turn it into a delicious spaghetti sauce! So good!

I have a favorite one I saw in Mario Batali’s cookbook that I make all of the time
I sometimes make sauce. I got this recipe from my sister and with a few changes, it’s mine. Lol
We don’t make our own spaghetti sauce, but we like to use Ragu.
we usually make it from a jar, but otherwise we just make it by taste, no recipe.
do not make froms cratch
The spaghetti sauce that we like is the one in the jar
Ragu.
My favorite spaghetti sauce is one my hubby makes. I have never made it myself, but the first time he made it, we were out of jar sauce. I laughed at him and thought it was stupid. Then, I tasted it and OMG! It was sooo good!

My fav recipe came from my mom
I don’t have one particular favorite recipe. I make homemade sauce in the crock pot and use whatever ingredients I have on hand or feel like getting to add. My Grandmother used to cook it this way too.
I really don’t have a recipe, I make homemade meatballs from a recipe I found online but my sauce is usually Ragu with green peppers and mushrooms and I add some red burgandy cooking wine and a can of stewed tomatoes.
No, I don’t. I generally just use canned spag sauce or wing it on my own

Nice giveaway. Thanks. No, I don’t have a special tomato sauce recipe. I like to start with a bottled tomato sause mix like Newman’s Own, then season it from there. I find the secret to a good sauce is adding a bit of red wine, fresh onions, chopped canned tomatoes and at the very least, additional garlic.
I use my friend Roseanne’s recipe. She’s from Brooklyn, and Italian, and it’s authentic and delish!
My recipe came from my Italian grandmother.
I typically used the jarred sauces!
My favorite spaghetti sauce is the one that I got from my Mom
crochet4hats[at]gmail[dot]com
I just use spaghetti sauce out of a can, lol…
No favorite recipe – I make it up as I go
I dont have a favorite recipe, I always use canned sauce :-{
I honestly have never made a homemade sauce
i make mine by taste. it is a bit different every time. but the basic concept comes from my friend who was a chef for years
I wish I had a favorite recipe! As many great recipes as I have found over the years….this is something I’ve just never found.
Thank-you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
