Tomato Sauce Recipe

	Borinda / All my dishes 2 years, 7 months ago Bliss. Every time I make this sauce the house feels homey, smells like I'm walking around Italy, and if it weren't so nice and thick I'd just stick a straw in and drink. We love this sauce. Prep:15m Cook:180m Servings:10	Borinda

Ingredients

56 ounces of Italian crushed tomatoes

24 ounces of tomato paste

fill the crushed tomato cans with water

1/4 ( more if need) extra virgin olive oil

2 large cloves of garlic, or three medium ones

1/2 tsp dried red pepper

2 Tbsp kosher salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp freshly ground pepper

1 bunch basil leaves, about 1 cup off their stems, halved

2 ounces grated romano cheese

Directions

In a stockpot simmer the garlic and the dried pepper in the olive oil. Add a bit if needed to keep them moist and not brown, simmer for about 4 minutes.

Pour in the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, salt, pepper, sugar, and the basil.

Heat to a boil and then turn down to slow simmer

Sprinkle the cheese in and stir well so it melts as you stir instead of just sinking to the bottom and sticking to the pot.

Stir this often.

This will cook down and reduce.

This freezes well, if it lasts that long.

How long do you let it reduce down? I have made some Meatballs for Lasagne by Twohot to go into the sauce to cook.

Let's see if I can get you a picture in here. Meatballs cooking in your Tomato Sauce:

Might have to dip some of the sauce out for another look.

Very well done Borinda. A flavorful sauce. It holds up to a slotted spoon well too:

Dang! Wrong picture! But it's got your sauce on them. Don't know why this picture keeps disappearing.

Was having another bowl of this tomato sauce while I was packaging it up for the refrigerator and thought how outstanding it would be with a few mushrooms in the sauce.

Here's the tomato sauce standing tall in a slotted spoon.

Maybe one of these pictures are good enough for you to use for the main picture at the top of your recipe. You should be able to copy them to your computer, massage them in your photoshop software and repost.

Looks like a good recipe because we've got 2 good feedbacks here! I just try recipes with comments such as these as I'm just a beginner and just making sure I'm copying a winner. I just want to stock up as I try as much as possible not to depend on canned goods. Thank you so much! Especially Points! ;P
P.s. I don't think I will be able to find romano cheese here in Manila. Can I use another cheese?
