While browsing through my cookbook, I found this recipe and got excited to start growing my tomatoes! Although it brought back a lot of pregnancy nostalgia, it's really fun to make. I cook two pots of it at the same time and it makes a HUGE mess, but it sure is worth it! I froze a bunch of it and used it for lasagnas, fast pasta dishes, etc. It really came in handy after Zach was born and I wasn't up to much cooking.
16 oz. fresh tomatoes
8 oz. tomato sauce
6 oz. tomato paste
6 oz. water
2 T. olive oil
1 onion
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. sugar
thyme
red pepper (to taste)
fennel seed (to taste)
Cook onions and garlic. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer on low uncovered for 2 to 3 hours until the sauce "cooks down". (The more moisture that leaves the sauce, the tastier it is!) When finished simmering, add 1/3 c. parmesan cheese. So good!
