Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. First of all prepare the vegetables and have them ready before starting the next step. The garlic should be finely chopped (I use an Ulu knife for this). The onion should be corsely chopped (1/4 strips about 1/2 to 3/4 long). The green pepper should be chopped into pieces roughly 1/3 square. Puree the fresh Roma tomatoes in a blender.
  2. Almost as important as the fresh vegetables is the sweating of the garlic and onion. Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Put the garlic and onion into the pan and stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes. Be very careful to watch the temperature. The garlic has a propensity to burn quickly. If the garlic starts to get golden brown, throw out the whole mess and start over. If you don't have ny brown at all then you haven't cooked it enough. If you watch the temperature carefully and stir it constantly this should work fine the first time.
  3. Add the green pepper and the Roma tomato puree to the pan and mix thoroughly. Add the cans of tomato sauce and tomato puree, the basil and oregano, and sprinkle in the black pepper. Mix thoroughly, cover, and cook on low to medium heat for 30 minutes stirring every 5 minutes or so. If the sauce is too thick, cut it with another can of tomato puree. If it is too thin then cut it with another can of tomato paste.
