Ingredients:

  • 1- 4 qt. can of crushed or whole tomatoes
  • 2- small cans of tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp. of oregano
  • 1- tsp. dry basil ( or a handfull of chopped fresh basil)
  • 1- tbsp. garlic salt
  • 1-2 clove of chopped garlic
  • 1- packet of lipton onion soup
  • 1- cup of red wine
  • 1-3 tbsp. of sugar ( depends on how acidic the tomatoes are)
  • 3-4 tbsp. of olive oil to saute the onions. 2-3 more half way through cooking.
  • water- if needed
  • optional
  • 1- tbsp of dry onion flakes
  • 6-8 italian sweet (mild) sausages ( if you want substitute meat balls, but add in at last hour of cooking)
  • 1- shredded carrot ( for lowering acidity)

Directions:

  1. Roughly blend the tomatoes ,if whole.
  2. In large soup pot, saute the onions and garlic in oil until translucent.
  3. Fry the sausages in a little olive oil in a seperate skillet.
  4. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste,oregano,basil,garlic salt,Lipton soup,and 1 TBS of the sugar to the pot.
  5. Add the sausages and the juice from the skillet to the pot.
  6. Pour as much of the juice from the canned tomatoes to get a consistency you like .Add the wine.
  7. Cook on med-high until you get a rolling boil. Then reduce to low to keep a bubbling low boil. Only add water if you need it as the sauce cooks down.Cook for 1 and a 1/2 hours and taste. If too acidic add a TBS. of sugar. Add the 2-3 TBS of olive oil. Cook for 2-3 more hours stirring
  8. Constantly to prevent the sauce from burning. Taste every hour for acidity and flavor.
  9. Note- I use the big S&W cans of tomatoes from Costco. If really ripe tomatoes are available , drop them quicky in boiling water to blow off the skins and blend.
  10. Red wine- use burgundy, pinot noir or a softer Zin.
  11. I always use the optional sausages and onion flakes, but not the carrot.
