"tomato" Sauce

10 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 dried leaf basil (if I used any tomatoes canned with basil in the can I skip this ingredient)
  • 12 onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (or less... I sometimes leave this one out)
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • 1 -2 teaspoon olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan for sauteing)

Directions

  1. 1
    Saute garlic and onion in olive oil.
  2. 2
    Add tomato paste plus one can of water and simmer for a few minutes.
  3. 3
    Add strained can of whole tomatoes plus 1/2 can of the water from that can (I found this step annoying and silly and I always ended up adding more liquid in the process anyway!
  4. 4
    So I just throw the whole can in at this point - liquid and all plus a half of a can of water.
  5. 5
    ).
  6. 6
    Add all of the remaining ingredients and cook for 2 HOURS (stir and enjoy the aroma intermittently throughout the process).
