Ingredients:

Serving

30 -35 roma tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh oregano
1 cup fresh basil leaf, lightly chopped
1/2-1 cup sugar (to taste, i prefer it sweet too!)
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 tsp salt (to taste)

Directions:

Wash all ingredients very well. Start with tomatoes and water over low heat in medium pot. Slowly stir in each ingredient and continue cooking and stirring for about 1/2 hour to an hour (at least, the longer/the better). If you can, refrigerate and reheat. I don't know why, but it taste better.
Great Additions: Artichoke Hearts, mushrooms, chopped onion, etc are just a few great additions you can add to this recipe! I have tried all of these just based on what I have in the kitchen at the time, and it always comes out great!
Note: This recipe is so versatile. Serve over pasta, I prefer linguini), vegetables, or even toasted crostini bread with a bit of mozzeralla on top. It can also be served cold over sliced toasted Italian bread as a bruschetta - mmm.
Tip: I worked in a family owned Italian restaurant in high-school. They said to stir continually and never let the sauce boil. I try every time but have yet to succeed.
