1 26 oz.-tomato sauce

Sauté/brown beef in oil. While doing this, dice onion and pepper. Add to beef, toss to sauté all. Add salt and pepper, oregano, garlic and basil.
In a large saucepot, add tomato sauce plus 1 8 oz. can of diced tomatoes. Pour all ingredients from sauté pan into sauce and stir well. Bring to a slow boil.
Stir well, lower heat, cover and simmer for about 3 hours. If desired, add a teaspoon of sugar (or wine or balsamic vinegar) to off-set the acidity, but do so toward the end.
Serve over thin spaghetti or angel hair and top with Parmesan cheese with a side salad and warm garlic bread. Red wine goes well.
This is a manly dish!

Marinara Sauce...

1 28 oz. can Italian plum tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves or 2-3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

To me the best part of any sauce is THE best parmesan cheese. I always start a simple sauce with olive oil, garlic, tomato sauce and basil. You can add any vegetables you like to that if you want onions/mushrooms/green peppers, etc. but I would let the sauce simmer a lot longer on low heat and then let it cool some to evaporate the liquids.
But as I said what makes it magic is REGGIANO parmeggiano cheese. It's pricey but worth the money if you can find it.
Oddly enough, if I can't get that...I don't like any other parmesan except Kraft which is sold on the shelf!!! :~)
No, but Bertollis and Barilla's marinara are both really really good. Tastes closest to fresh that i have ever had.
I chop up a couple cloves of garlic, saute it with sliced mushrooms. I then put that to the side, and brown italian sausage, add pureed tomatoes, and add the garlic and mushroom back in. I simmer it, adding rosemary, oregano, thyme, salt, etc....or when lazy, just italian seasoning with a bit of paprika.
How about a clone of Olive Garden.
1 lb ground beef
1 12-oz can v-8

Brown the ground beef, add remaining ingredients and simmer until consistency you like. Yummy!
