Homemade Spaghetti Sauce -
2 cups (2 large) chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
8 cups (12 medium) coarsely chopped, peeled tomatoes
1 1/2 tablespoon oregano leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon rosemary leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups water
1 12 oz. can tomato paste
In a 4 quart sauce pan, saute onions and garlic in oil until tender. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Store in refrigerator up to 1 week or freeze for up to 6 months.
I expound on this by stealing from my friend Tanja's recipe:
When I'm actually cooking if for the family and not freezing it for later use, I saute some carrot and celery in butter and add that along with some more tomato paste(if it's too runny) and cream for flavor.
It's outstanding!
Thank you! This sounds divine. So...we're making it at your house, right?
