You know what's awesome?
This tomato sauce I just made.
1 Small can Tomato Paste
2 Cans Tomato Puree (I use Contadina)
1 Can Diced Tomato (same, Contadina)
8 Cloves Garlic *Crushed
2 Tblsp Dried Oregano
2 Tblsp Black Pepper
2 Tblsp Sea Salt (I swear, this makes a difference in taste)
1.5-3 tblsp red papper flakes (to taste, but add some!)
3 Tblsp olive Oil
Handful fresh chopped basil
In a medium pot, medium heat, put in oil, crushed garlic and tomato paste, stir about 3-4 minutes or until paste starts to darken a bit. Add in the rest of the ingredients except basil.
Bring up to a simmer and let sauce simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes. Should thicken a bit. Stir occasionally.
Remove from heat, stir in fresh basil and let sauce sit for 15-20 minutes, at least. serve over pasta, or like I did, on some of my special chicken parmesan.
This won't be near as sweet as the jar sauces, but will have a much richer and robust tomato flavor that can really stand on it's own, without really overpowering any other foods in teh dish, like chicken.
Enjoy!
