1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 28 ounce can progresso crushed tomato
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 28 ounce can progresso italian style
1/4 cup freshly chopped basil
1 bay leaf
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil in medium saucepan till translucent. Put Italian style tomatoes in blender; puree, and pour into saucepan. Add canof crushed tomatoes. Add Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Add fresh parsley and chopped basil and simmer another 15 minutes. If you would like to add browned ground beef, meatballs, or sausage....this would be the perfect sauce to do so. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a Tbl or two of tomato paste. I personally just don't think it needs it. Rita in Scottsdale 03/24/92 21:05
