Fuggedaboutit Gravy

Serves 6-8

1/2 cup olive oil

6 cloves garlic crushed

1 can plum peeled Italian tomatoes - 28 oz. (put in blender)

1 can tomato paste - 6 oz. (start with 1/2 or 3 oz. - add more if you like it thick)

Dried herbs - herbs are according to taste - some like basil, parsley, and sugar combination while others like oregano and crushed red pepper for a spicy sauce.

My family likes:            1/2 tsp. dried parsley, 1 tsp. dried basil, with 1 tsp. sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Gently heat olive oil - do not burn - approximately 1 minute.

Add crushed garlic - sauté approximately 1-2 minutes- again do not burn.

After putting cans of tomatoes in blender - add to pot with olive oil and garlic.

Cook about 10 minutes.

Add can of paste - if you like thick gravy add all 6 oz. - experiment - if after adding paste you think it’s too thick add a little water.

Cook another 10 minutes on low heat.

Add your herbs and some salt and pepper (remember you can always add more later).

Cook uncovered another 10 minutes.

Taste and correct for seasoning.

Serve with your favorite pasta.
