Step 1

Pour the oil into a large sauce pan over medium high heat.

Step 2

Crush the garlic and add it to the oil (if you want a spicy sauce, you can add some hot pepper, fresh or flakes, at this point). Sauté the garlic until it just starts to brown, then add the parsley.

Step 3

Turn the heat up to high. Now, add the tomato puree and San Marzano tomatoes, and quickly cover with the lid for about 30 seconds, until the squirting subsides.

Step 4

Add tomato paste, spices and the Basil. Bring to a slight boil.

Step 5

Add cooked meat as desired – meatballs, Italian sausage, or country style pork spare ribs

Step 6

Simmer on very low heat for three hours stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. If you want to keep it on longer, that’s OKAY!

Step 7

If acidic – add one teaspoon of sugar or baking soda. Keep adding if necessary.

Step 8

Serve over your favorite pasta – delicious!!
