Mamma Kelly's Real Old Fashioned Honest To God
Italian Spaghetti Sauce Supreme
1 C Finely chopped onion
1 Tbs Finely chopped garlic
1 (28 oz) Can Contadina
Whole Tomatoes
1 (6 oz) Can Contadina
Tomatoe Paste
1 Tsp Dried Basil
1 Bay Leaf
2 Tsps Sugar
1 Tbs Salt
Pepper
1/2 C Water
In a 3 - 4 quart saucepan , heat olive oil and saute onions until soft.
Add garlic and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring frequently so the garlic
doesn't burn. Chop the tomatoes in the can and add to saucepan along
with the rest of the ingredients. Bring sauce to a boil, then simmer
uncovered for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
This will make enough sauce for a pound of spaghetti/vermicelli and
will easily make a tasty meal for 4 hungry people. Serve with lots of
freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano — if you can afford it. A salad of
mixed greens with a simple vinegar & oil dressing, and a loaf of crusty
bread makes for an inexpensive but elegant dinner.
Buono Appetito!
