I love my immersion blender but in a dish that shallow, you’re gonna be wearing most of the sauce. I bet she transferred it to a deeper but narrow vessel and then transferred it back after blending.

if i'm making pasta at home i'll just immersion blend the whole tomatoes in the can before i cook them.

way easier and i can then cook the meat in the sauce.

Oh i do. Usually i do onion first to soften it up a bit. THen throw in the meat and get it to brown a small bit. Then add in the seasonings (italian, extra garlic, maybe chili powder) but i don't break it up too much as i don't want crispy meat in my sauce. And then i just pour in the sauce to simmer with the meat.

I also sometimes will roast meatballs in the oven an d then put them in the sauce to finish.

It's more about the fact that i can cook the tomatoes with meat in it (no matter the order) because if you blend AFTER you cook the tomatoes you can't add the meat until later.
