The following ingredients will make enough Tomato Sauce for approximately 10 people. 

Use at least a 8 quart pot - a bigger size would be better if you have one!

• Open: 5 (15 oz) cans of tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 (12 oz) cans of tomato paste
• Coat bottom of the pan generously (2 TBs) with olive oil.
• Crush 2 cloves of garlic and add to oil.
• Brown garlic.

Mixing The Sauce

• Allow oil to cool.
• Add tomato sauce and tomato paste to garlic.
• Fill each tomato sauce and tomato paste can 3/4 full with water.
• Add this water to the sauce.
• Add 12 oz of Chianti* (fill tomato past can with Chianti to clean sides of cans)
• Add the following spices, rubbing them in your palm to release their fragrance:
  • 2 tbsp - oregano
  • 2 tbsp - rosemary
  • 2 tbsp - basil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/8 teasp (+) red pepper flakes

Cooking Instructions

While the sauce is cooking - prepare the meat - see below

• Cook at medium heat until mixture is hot and the tomato paste has blended into the sauce.
• Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally.  Allow to cook for atleast 4 to 4 1/2 hours - with all the meat in it.
• Do not remove from the heat until the air bubbles leave a "moon crater" on the top of the sauce.
