Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves of garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon of dried basil
- 2 teaspoons of dried oregano
- 1 jar of homemade garden canned stewed tomatoes (recipe above)
- 1 can of tomato paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan add 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Chop one medium onion and add to the pot along with one green and/or red pepper.
- After the peppers and onions have softened add 1 to 2 cloves of chopped garlic, a tablespoon of dried basil, and 2 teaspoons of dried oregano. The longer you cook the onions, peppers, garlic, and herbs, the better the sauce tastes, and some of our family members even like this a little burnt.
- When you are satisfied with the sautéed vegetables, add 1 to 2 jars of the homemade canned stewed tomatoes.
- Add one can of tomato paste, along with a little salt and pepper. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
- (You can enhance your sauce with 1 tablespoon of beef bouillon crystals and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, depending on your taste.
- The same sauce can have cooked sausage added to it and cooked and or cooked meatballs. However, these changes make it not vegetarian)
