Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz) cans tomato paste
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp dried basil
  • 4 -6 garlic cloves (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp chrushed red pepper
  • 2 -4 tsp sugar

Directions:

  1. Put tomatoes with their juice in large heavy kettle. Use a potato masher to break up.
  2. Add tomato paste.
  3. Rinse out tomato paste cans with water and add that water to the pot.
  4. Add bay leaves, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic, red pepper & sugar.
  5. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat so sauce will simmer gently.
  6. Simmer for 3-5 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer this sauce cooks, the better it tastes.
  7. Add a small amount of boiling water if sauce seems to be too thick. We like our sauce fairly thick.
  8. You may add browned ground beef when the sauce is ready or your favorite meatball.
  9. Serve over your favorite cooked pasta.
  10. It's also a wonderful sauce for lasagne.
