They usually pop & split while in the hot sauce/gravy......but you can cut them if you wish........
Obviously, they used them from their own roof top gardens or back yard gardens while "in season"......like the Roma tomatoes......plum tomatoes, small variety.
In the winter season, they used the canned tomatoes........so either way, or with both is still good............or just skip the fresh tomatoes.
JUST NEVER NEVER USE AMERICAN CANNED TOMATOES OR TOMATO SAUCE TO MAKE ITALIAN RECIPES.......
NOT/nada for Hunts brand nor Delmonte, etc. nor any store brand.
Nothing compares to SAN MARZANO.....CENTO....CONTADINA or any of the other Italian brands. WHOLE TOMATOES or CRUSHED TOMATOES.
FRESH TOMATOES if you wish. If not it will still be fine.
P.S. FRESH BASIL is always a great addition.......BUT DRIED IS ALSO O.K.
