Ready in: 2 hours 10 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 5

• 2 tablespoons oil (olive is preferable)
• 1 (28 ounce) jar tomato sauce, or 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatos
• 28 ounces water (use empty jar of sauce)

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 2 hours

1. In a large pot, pour 2 tablespoons of oil. Turn stove heat to HIGH. Pour contents of jar (sauce, or a can of crushed tomatoes) into pot.
2. Fill empty jar with water and pour water into pot. Stir sauce. Turn heat down to 3 or 4 (or minimum setting). Do NOT cover.
3. Stir sauce every 5 to 10 minutes for anywhere from 2 to 4 hours (The longer you cook it, the better it tastes!).
4. Add water after at least 2 hours of cooking until you get desired thickness (add more or less water according to preference).Antonio’s Tip:

If you would like to add spices to your sauce (e.g. garlic, peppers, mushrooms): If you add it at the beginning of cooking, the flavors will ‘mix and mingle’ with the sauce, causing the entire sauce to taste the same. If you add it at the end, you will have individual strong tastes of the spices throughout the sauce. ENJOY!
