Description

This is a very simple recipe to make and tastes great too. This sauce tastes extra good if you add fried meatballs or pork spareribs to the sauce. Another good addition is a can of drained peas, if you like them. Happy eating!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
7 cloves garlic, minced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (28 ounce) cans tomato puree
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon white sugar

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it. Pour in tomato paste, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
2 Add crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, pepper, salt, basil, and sugar; stir. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.
