ingredients

29.58 ml olive oil
0 onion, sliced into very thin crescent wedges
453.59 g can tomatoes, peeled
2.46 ml pepper
2.46 ml salt
1.23 ml basil
0.25 ml oregano
parsley
4 garlic cloves
453.59 g spaghetti
parmesan cheese, grated, can use Romano

directions

In a frying pan heat olive oil; add onion and the garlic. Saute until brown and remove the garlic.
Put the canned tomatoes and the liquid from the can in a blender and mix gently, less than a minute.
Slowly pour the tomatoes into the frying pan. Be very careful because the liquid on the oil has a tendency to explode. Let this simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the seasoning, stirring well.
In the meantime, put 3 tablespoons of salt into a 4 quart pot of water and bring to a boil. When the sauce is almost ready, put the spaghetti into the boiling water. Stir occasionally and when the spaghetti is almost done, pour in a colander and immediately transfer to a heated platter.
Pour the sauce over the the pasta and mix a little with 2 forks. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley and serve. Sprinkle with cheese,if desired, on top.

This was sooooo good, I couldn't believe it! I used a 28 ounce can of peeled plum tomatoes in thick puree and also added some green pepper, fresh mushrooms and just a little ground beef. This is now a favorite in our home!! Simple to make and uses 3 pans - a skillet for the sauce and a larger pot for the pasta.

Loved the flavor of this sauce! Delicious! It doesn't make enough sauce for the 1 lb of spaghetti the recipe calls for. I'm going to double the sauce recipe next time.

I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin
