SUBMITTED BY: Melinda Connery PHOTO BY: Marigat

"A very thick and dark sauce with a little red pepper kick. Adjust the crushed red pepper to suit your tastes. This sauce freezes well too."

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
