Homemade Italian Gravy
Make your own gravy and you will never want jar sauce again-- it's cheaper, tastier, and healthier.
Here's what you need:
- 4 cans of crushed or whole tomatoes
- 4 cans of tomato paste
- 1/4 cup of red wine (if you wouldn't drink it, don't use it)
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of grated parmigiana and romano cheese
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder
- 1 tablespoon of garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon of oregano (fresh if possible)
- 1 tablespoon of parsley (fresh if possible)
- 1 tablespoon of basil (fresh if possible)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil (extra virgin is best)
- 1 medium onion chopped fine
- 1-3 garlic cloves crushed or chopped fine
Here's what to do (Prep time is about 20 minutes):
- Start olive oil in pot at medium heat
- Add onion and garlic
- Stir until golden brown
- Add all other ingredients
- Stir and bring to boil (don't burn)
- Simmer low heat for several hours stirring occasionally
Add meatballs, sausage, etc.
Bon Appetite!
