The Godfather Pasta Sauce
Two 440g tins whole tomatoes or 12 Roma or plum tomatoes, chopped
Two tablespoons olive oil
Three cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped finely
One large jar tomato paste
Half a cup of fresh basil
500g pre-cooked meat, either cooked sausages, sliced, or meatballs
2 tablespoons dry red table wine
1/4 cup sugar
Method
In a large pot warm the oil over medium heat and saute the garlic. Add the chopped up tomatoes. Cook until soft. Stir in the tomato paste, basil and oregano. Add the meat. Stir until the meat is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Stir in the wine (and a glass for you!) and sugar. Reduce heat to low to medium-low and let simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle over large bowls filled with cooked spaghetti, toss in each bowl and serve.
NB : Add some chilli if you are spicy!
