Italian Tomato Sauce

This is the same basic sauce that I use for Lasagna … makes a perfect sauce for pasta or chicken based Italian dishes! Two 28 ounce cans of whole peeled or diced tomatoes Three 15 ounce cans tomato sauce One 6 ounce can tomato paste 1 Tablespoon Parsley Flakes 1 Tablespoon Basil 1 teaspoon sugar 2 cloves garlic, crushed or finely minced Pour tomatoes into a large pot or pan. Break tomatoes up (use a stick blender if you don’t want chunky sauce). Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, sugar, basil and parsley. Heat to just before boiling, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
