The woman can cook... loved that part of her. and this is a great base sauce. A French-Canadian who married a "off the boat" Italiano.. she learned to do Italian well.
Ingredients
- Base sauce: shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 3 large onions shopping list
- 8 garlic cloves shopping list
- 2 large cans of Italian (manzano) tomatoes with basil shopping list
- 1 large can tomato paste shopping list

- italian spice to taste shopping list
- Options: shopping list
- hamburg shopping list
- Sirloin steak, cubed shopping list
- zucchini, sliced thin shopping list
- mushrooms, mushrooms,,,, and yes more mushrooms shopping list
How to make it
- Blend the 2 cans of peeled tomatoes briefly, make sure you remove the bay leaves, if they are in the can, and seed the tomatoes.
- Method 1:
- In a large sauce pot, pour olive oil in bottom of pan and cook over med-high heat, cook the diced onions and sliced garlic until brown, then discard the onions and garlic.
- Method 2: (Wolf preferred)
- In a large sauce pot, pour olive oil in bottom of pan and sweat the diced onions and minced garlic until they are soft and translucent.
- Next, add the two cans of blended tomatoes and tomato paste and mix until ingredients are well blended.
- Salt, pepper, sugar, and Italian spices to taste (I recommend some red pepper flakes too).
- Bring it all to a simmer.
- Add optional (mushrooms, etc..) here... If adding Sirloin cubes or hamburger, brown and drain before adding to the sauce.
- You may need to add some some water while this is simmering.
- Simmer for at least 1-1/2 hours.
- Serve on your favorite pasta, lasagna, or ... eat it straight with a slice of good bread.

Absoluely Fabulous!! LOVE the title...my ex mother-in-law had one or two recipes up her sleeve too! Unfortunately, they involved a garden and home-canning, so, they are in no danger of being duplicated by me...LOL. Thanks for posting.
