The sauce has a bit of heat from the hot pepper; use as much as you and your family like.

Nonni's Spaghetti Gravy

2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 chili pepper
1 clove garlic (leave whole)
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/4 cup small whole basil leaves or 4 – 5 large leaves, chopped
1 cup fresh or canned plum tomatoes
2 cups fresh or roasted cherry tomatoes

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan and then add the onion, garlic, parsley, basil, and tomatoes. Slit the chili pepper and squeeze the seeds into the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the garlic clove and either refrigerate the sauce until ready to use or keep warm until pasta is cooked.

You can add meat if you want~this is just a basic sauce (actually Italians call it gravy).

I just get a pound a hamburger meat, let it brown, add 1 small onion chopped, let it cook some more, then add two regular sized cans of tomato sauce and half a can of tomato paste (the little ones.) Then add 5 shakes of Italian seasoning, 3 shakes of garlic powder, and a couple shakes of crushed red pepper if ya like a little spice. That's not authentic, but easy and good.....

depends on how much you want to make....
slowly brown in a pot some italian sausage, hamburger, and onions.
When they are well browned, add a few cans of tomato sauce, chopped fresh mushrooms, chopped zucchini (optional) some oregeno, crushed garlic, and parsley. Cover and put on low heat from anywhere to an hr to 6 hrs. It will smell great, and taste even better!

Got a couple good ones for you:

** Mark Strausman’s Tomato Sauce **
--Makes about 9 cups

If you are preparing this recipe in August or September, use fresh plum tomatoes, which are at the height of their season then. Cut them into large pieces, and run them through the food mill just as you would canned tomatoes. Slow cooking will allow the skin to melt into the sauce. For canned tomatoes, Mark likes to use Italian plum tomatoes from the Italian San Marzano Valley. ("CENTO" is one brand.)

4 (28 oz) cans whole Italian plum tomatoes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tsp. crushed red-pepper flakes
1 cup Chianti or dry red wine
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
8 leaves fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Purée tomatoes in a food mill, removing most of the seeds. In a medium stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat, add garlic, and sauté until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes. While oil is sizzling, slowly add half of the puréed tomatoes and the wine, stirring to mix. Add remaining tomatoes, reduce heat to low, and let simmer. Add oregano, and continue to simmer until slightly thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The sauce may be kept in the refrigerator up to 3 or 4 days in an airtight plastic container or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

** Basic Tomato Sauce**

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Spanish onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes
Salt

In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve.
This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
