Preparation

Step 1

1. Saute garlic in a little olive oil. Be careful not to burn it.

2. Add tomatoes, paste, salt, pepper, basil, water, sugar, and meat if desired. Add baking soda after it comes to a boil to cut acid of the tomatoes.

3. Simmer 2 to 3 hours, covered. Additional water may be added later to thin sauce as desired.

Recipe may be easily doubled or tripled in a large pot. Freeze in quart containers for later use.
