ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE

Anybody can say it’s Italian, but we'll try to stick with vegetables that grow in Italy as much as we can. This Italian tomato sauce recipe is pretty easy to make.

Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup safflower oil
1 can (810 g) peeled tomatoes, chopped (do not drain)
1 can (230 g) tomato paste
1 cup vegetable stock
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Sauté onion and garlic in the hot oil, until lightly browned.

Add all remaining ingredients and stir over low heat until boiling. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Let it cool. Pack into a container, seal label and freeze.

My rule of thumb: If there's meat in the sauce then it’s probably an American recipe.
