Pasta Sauce Making at SomerVille If you have not worked it out yet - we take good food pretty seriously at SomerVille . Of course what is the perfect compliment to red wine? - pasta. Hence pasta sauce making is now an annual tradition at SomerVille . You can view photos of the process.
Each year around February/March when the tomatoes are ready, the community gathers to make the best, sweetest pasta sauce ever produced! Organic Roma tomatoes are used - nothing but the absolute best.
The tomatoes rinsed, boiled and
then crushed through a 1 hp machine. After this they are poured into bottles.
A basil leaf is added. The bottles are
sealed The bottles will keep in a cool dark cupboard for up to a year. Bottles are recycled each year. "Shareholders" in the Sauce Making have purchased all the required equipment. The cost per bottle for shareholders in the first year was fairly high to cover the cost of the equipment. Shareholders pay a lower price in subsequent years. Non-shareholders pay the same price in the first and subsequent years but this is a higher price than the shareholders.
