Question

Is there a way to make a strained (or crushed) tomato recipe?

Answer 1

yes

You can use a food mill to remove the seeds and skin from the tomatoes. You can also use a china cap and force the sauce through the china cap. If you use the china cap  method if you add vegetables etc. they will also be strained out of the sauce.

I prefer the china cap method.

Answer 2

What do you think speghetti sauce is? Pizza sauce? Marinara sauce? Ketchup?

Get creative with these. Add spices, sugars, vinegars, vegetables, etc and create a recipe you like. You would be surprised at the possibilities.

Either that or cheat and look up recipes. But it's not as fun!

Cook them whole.

Shock in cold water.

Peel them.

Blend in blander or food processor.
