Spaghetti Sauce

1. 1

   Cook garlic in olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat until it softens and starts to turn color.

2. 2

   Add the two cans of tomatoes, breaking them up.

3. 3

   (I use a potato masher.)

4. 4

   Add the tomato paste, combine and bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer.

5. 5

   Add the sugar, basil, and the baking soda (cuts the acidity of the tomatoes).

6. 6

   Simmer for 1 to 2 hours uncovered, stirring occassionally.

7. 7

   If the sauce is too thick just add a bit of water.

8. 8

   Salt and pepper to taste.

9. 9

   I usually add a batch of meatballs the last 15 minutes.
