  • First Lot:
  • 24 oz tomato paste (5x142g cans)
  • 5 c water (2.5 pounds/1.135L/1.135kg)
  • 4 t dried oregano
  • 1/2 T minced garlic

  • 2 T Sugar (Granulated) (as desired)
  • Second Lot:

Method

For the first lot:

(Start about 4 hours before serving time)

In a 5 quart pot, mix all the first lot ingredients together.  Place on stove and simmer over medium high heat til it comes to a slight boil.  Turn down the heat to low and keep it at a very gentle simmer.  Cover and cook, stirring occassionally.

Taste to see if you like the spice combination, adding more as necessary.

For the second lot:

Add parmesan cheese to sauce; continue to simmer, and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Heat oil in a large skillet; once hot, add onion.  Cook until onion goes translucent.  Add to sauce.
