Righteous Rojo. The namesake for this site. The “mother” sauce of Italian-American cookery. The most important and versatile of all sauces. If there is one recipe I publish that I sincerely hope you try and make and master it is this one. That said, a good rojo is more about feel than following an exact recipe or formula, but this is a good baseline to send you on your way to righteousness. As with anything, fresh and in season tomatoes work best, but since the need for Rojo extends all seasons, the canned varieties work as well.
