1 (8 ounce) canitalian style chunky tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
4 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic juice (from jar)
2 teaspoons fresh basil
2 teaspoons italian seasoning

½ cup diced red pepper

½ teaspoon pepper

1
For a chunkier sauce I suggest not using the blender but as I have discriminating tastes in my family I used a blender for the diced tomatoes and italian diced tomatoes.
2
Combine blended tomatoes, tomato paste 2 tbsp of the minced garlic, fresh basil, italian seasoning and sugar in a large pot - mix together and begin to simmer on low
3
Take the other 2 tbsp of garlic, garlic juice, oil, mushroom, green & red pepper, onion and sautee lightly before adding them to the sauce.
4
(Again because of discriminating tastes I used a chopper to chop these into small bits prior to sautee).
5
Combine and let simmer for 1-2 hours then serve over spaghetti I have also used this sauce for my lasagne minus the peppers.
6
I always taste things going in and if I need more or less of an ingredient I play with it as I let it simmer on the stove for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
7
I also freeze any leftover sauce for next time being that there is only three of us.
