Ingredients
- 2 cloves Garlic, shopped fine
- 4 cups tomatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 T. chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp Basil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/8 tsp oregano
- 3 Tbs tomato paste
- grated cheese, Parmesan or Romano
Preparation
Step 1
Brown garlic in oil. Add tomatoes, parsley, basil salt and pepper and cook over low flame for 30 minutes. Add oregano and tomato paste.
Continue to cook about 15 more minutes or until sauce thickens. Pour sauce over cooked spaghetti. Mix lightly and serve with grated cheese of your choice.
Tip:
Tomatoes can be peeled easily by scoring the bottoms with an "X". Immerse in a pot of boiling water for a few seconds, till the skin pulls away from the flesh where you have cut it. Remove from the water and skin will peel easily.
