This has been adapted for fresh tomatoes.
My sister had to learn how to cook true Italian food when she got married. This recipe is adapted from her late mother-in-law's recipe that she brought with her from the old country. The original recipe made about 2 gallons of sauce (Mama had 10 kids) but over the years my sister cut it down to a reasonable amount.
Tomato Sauce
Tomato Paste
* Contrary to popular opinion oregano is associated more with pizza sauce than spaghetti sauce.
* If desired, crushed red pepper may be added after sauce cooks a while, do not add with the other spices or sauce will get too hot.
To make a meat sauce add cooked and drained ground beef and, if desired, ground Italian sausage.
