Not real sure where to put this, but it is a sauce so here it is.

I am currently making this for the first time. After dinner I will make a reply as to what I though of it.

If you make this, dont make a double batch unless you have alot of skillet space!




1 Onion
1 Bell pepper
Garlic (10 cloves)
Basil - 1 bunch
Red pepper
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Olive oil
Chicken broth - 1/4 cup
2 Lg cans tomato sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tsp garlic powder



Saute onion, bell pepper and 10 minced garlic cloves in olive oil. Add some kosher salt and a big pinch of crushed red pepper.

Once sauted place in blender with 1/4 cup chicken broth and blend until smooth.

Move back to the pan you sauted in and add 2 cans of tomato sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper to taste. cover with a lid and simmer. After an hour stir then stir every 20 minutes afterwards until you feel that it's ready, normally 2 hours but you can cook longer if desired.

When it's done add a bunch of fresh basil, remove from heat and serve.

That should make a tasty marina. I love garlic and that sauce has enough to Kill Dracula, so it should be just about right for me.

Just finished my second plate full. This is some good stuff! My son is going nuts over it!

Sounds good Chuck... How large are the large cans?

Just a guess but judging by the amount of the supporting characters I would say 28 oz cans.

Yes, they are like 28 or 29 oz cans
