Spaghetti Sauce

My friend Brian Spagnola gave me a copy of this spaghetti sauce. Said that it was his grandmothers. I have to say no more Ragu for me!!! This is very good stuff! Thanks Brian!!!

Spaghetti Sauce
1 Onion
1 Bell pepper
Garlic (10 cloves)
Basil - 1 bunch
1 tsp Red pepper
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
Chicken broth - 1/4 cup
2 Lg cans tomato sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tsp garlic powder

Saute onion, bell pepper and 10 minced garlic cloves in olive oil. Add salt and crushed red pepper.

Once sauted place in blender with chicken broth and blend until smooth.

Move back to the pan you sauted in and add tomato sauce, sugar, garlic powder and black pepper to taste. Cover with a lid and simmer.

After an hour stir then stir every 20 minutes afterwards until you feel that it's ready, normally 1.5 - 2 hours but you can cook longer if desired.

When it's done add a bunch of fresh basil, remove from heat and serve.

* Make sure that you buy good quality tomato sauce. Dont buy the cheap stuff.

* I also add 1 pound of browned hamburger meat about 15 minutes before it's ready to be served.
