  Gina's Basic Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 small Onion, chopped
1/2 tsp Fennel seeds
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1 small Green pepper, chopped
6 Ripe tomatoes, medium
12 oz Can tomato puree
6 oz Can tomato paste
2 tsp Oregano, dried
1 tsp Basil, dried
1 tbsp Parsley, dried
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Prepare the tomatoes: drop them into a pot of boiling water for
about a minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Slip off the skins,
cut out the "core", and coarsely chop. Set aside.

In a large pot, heat the oil. Add onion & fennel seed. Fry a couple
minutes. Add the pepper & garlic and fry a couple more minutes
(don't let the precious garlic brown or burn, please!). Add the rest
of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, lower heat, then simmer for as
long as you can (at least an hour), stirring occasionally. I cover
the pot loosely when simmering.

Notes: You can use fresh herbs for the dried, and it's much better.
Just triple the proportions for fresh. You can also add other veggies
to the sauce during the simmer phase: carrots (shredded), green
chilis (fresh roasted from New Mexico), chopped olives (black or
green), sliced mushrooms. You can also add TVP to fool meat eaters:
soak 1 c TVP & 1/4 t fennel seed in 7/8 c boiling water for 10 min.
Fry the TVP in some olive oil before adding to the sauce.

Also, you might want to double or triple this recipe if your tomato
"shrubs" look like mine :-)

Enjoy!
