This is my Mom's sauce, the sauce I grew up with and loved. Basically for my grown up taste, I increased all the spices. I would like to say I doubled them, but I'm sure it is probably even more. I just cup my hand pour some spice in and throw it in the pot. And I also tend to let it simmer on the stove all morning. It's a good sauce and the one I started with before I started spicing it up. Occaisionally I added her meatballs to this recipe, they can be found here Mom's Meatballs. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 medium onion, diced |
2 (32 ounce) canned tomatoes |
1 (16 ounce) canned tomato sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1 tablespoon chopped parsley |
1 bay leaf |
1/2 teaspoon basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in sauce pot, and saute the onion and garlic.
2. Add remaining ingredients except the grated cheese and bring to a boil.
3. Cover, lower heat and simmer one hour.
4. NOTE: For a thicker sauce, stir in the 1/4 cup grated cheese and simmer 5 minutes more. Actually - I think it even tastes better.
