Sauce!

Finally I was able to schedule some time with my grandma so she can teach me how to make our family sauce.  Some may call it gravy, marinara, pasta sauce.  But plain and simple its our family recipe for marinara sauce.

Ingredients
1 onion
4-5 garlic cloves, BAM!
olive oil
1 small can tomato paste
1 large can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatos
1/2 c. fresh basil, chopped
Italian seasoning, to taste
2 c. water(depends on how thick you want your sauce)
*sauce can be frozen for a few months, just take out and defrost*

Chop up onion and garlic

Heat up the onion and garlic with some olive oil in a large saucepan

Cook until garlic is slightly browned and onion becomes transparent

Mix in the tomato paste

Mix together

Add water and tomato puree, diced tomato's.  Or fresh if you can yourself

What is sauce without some fresh basil?

Simmer

Italian seasoning ofcourse!

Here is a pic of my pot, and grandmas.. cooking away!

We made the meatballs with ground beef, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, and milk.  Lay them in a pan coated with olive oil

Italian sausages go in the broiler

One meatballs are baked they cook with the sauce for 30 or so minutes

Sausages are done!  Cut up and add to the sauce too!

Ta-Da!  Delicioso!  Pour on top of spaghetti, ravioli, use with lasagna!
