I wanted to share a recipe for pasta sauce that was really good!  I didn't have all of the ingredients to make Mom Dougoveto's sauce so I searched for one and came across this one.....so I thought I'd share it:
Ingredients:                              Servings:  4-6
    
    * 4 cloves garlic
    * 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon sea salt
    * 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil 
    * 1/2 medium onion, diced
    * 3/4 cup chicken broth
    * 1 (24 ounce) can whole tomatoes  (I used a bag of mom's frozen tomatoes)
    * 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
    * 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
    * 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I only used a pinch because I don't like spicy)
    * 1 teaspoon sugar
    * 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    * 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Directions:
Prep Time: 5 mins       Total Time: 1 1/4 hr
1 On your cutting board, chop and smash the garlic into a paste with the salt.
2 Heat a large saucepan with the oil in it over medium-high heat.
3 Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook for about 8 minutes or until the     onions are all brown.
4 Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom to get all the "flavor" bits off of it.
5 Crush the tomatoes into the pan using your hand.  (I just used a tomato masher)
6 Add the tomato paste and all of the seasonings except the parsley and basil.
7 Stir to combined.
8 Bring to a soft boil, turn the heat to low, and cover.
9 Let it simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stir occasionally.
10 Add the parsley and basil.
11 Serve over pasta, rice, pizza, anything.  (I don't think I would use it on pizza)
