Hey! Need a really good tomato sauce recipe. (for pasta) Thanks?

Answer 1

This is a recipe from a little Italian woman in a town near to where I live.
1 lg can tomato sauce
1 sm can tomato paste
1 can chicken broth
1 whole onion, peeled
tsp allspice
tsp ground cloves
raw italian sausage(I use the link style)
Place everything in a dutch oven, or other large kettle and simmer for at least 4-6 hours. The sausage cooks through all the way and before serving, just break apart with the spoon into bite sized chunks. The onion is left whole and can be broken down, or removed before serving.
