Recipe Introduction
This is famous!
List of Ingredients
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
Brown the onion and garlic in olive oil.
Add to onion mixture:
1 (20 oz) can tomato puree (I use Red Pack)
1 (20 oz. can) crushed tomatoes
1 (12 oz.) can tomato paste
Add herbs: (I don't like oregano, but most people do, so use what you
like.)
1 Tbsp. each basil and parsley
1 tsp. oregano
1 - 2 bay leaves
a pinch (about 1/8th tsp.) baking soda (this cuts acidity in the sauce)
2 - 3 Tbsps. sugar (depending on whether you like sauce on the sweet
side, tase to be sure)
1/4 cup red wine (dry or sweet, doesn't matter)
Optional:
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Recipe
then add whatever meat desired. Meatballs, Italian sausage, porkchops,
chicken or pepperoni chunks. Be aware that
once you add meat, your sauce will get a little greasy. I precook all
meat before adding to the sauce and absorb excess
grease with paper towels before adding the meat to the sauce.
