Ingredients

  • 3 clove garlic
  • 1/2 clove onion
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon flakes
  • 28 ounce tomato puree
  • 28 ounce crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Cook the garlic and onion in the olive oil in a sauce pot over a medium-low flame, about 10 minutes or until garlic is tender and onions translucent, not brown (this is called "sweating" because it will draw out a lot of moisture and flavor).

Add the chili flakes to taste.

Add all the tomato products.

Pour the chicken stock into one of the 28-ounce cans.

Fill it the rest of the way with water and add that and the sugar to the pot.

Stir and bring to a simmer.

Season to taste with salt and chili flakes and cover.

Simmer the sauce for about 1 hour.

The sauce should be fairly thin, but not watery, and very smooth.

Uncover and simmer for 3 minutes if it is too thin for your taste; add a little water if it seems thick.
