Answers:

The best tomatoes for sauce are Roma, Italian style.
But any kind will work;-} you want only the pulp or meat.
So first boil a pot of water, drop tomatoes in carefully,
one or two at a time, the skin should split.
Remove with slotted spoon & cool, then peel off skins.
Place in a heavy sieve & mash with a wooden spoon.
Catch the pulp in a bowl, discard the seeds.
Stop when you have enough (3 cups) for a batch of sauce.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, & chopped green pepper,
1 minced clove of garlic (or more if desried).
Cook 5 minutes until onion just softens.
Add 2 cups sliced mushrooms if desired, another 5 minutes.
Add tomato pulp, 1/2 tsp sugar, dried basil, oregano, pepper.
Turn heat down, simmer uncovered 15 minutes,
stir occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat & cover.
Taste-test, add 1 tbsp vinegar if too sweet.
