2-3 cans of tomato paste
water
finely minced garlic or garlic powder
very finely minced onion
a bit of sugar
salt
pepper
a little hot sauce
a little oregano
a big dab of butter
Saute a small onion that has been very finely diced in a bit of butter or olive oil for several minutes. Add the tomato paste and several cans of water. Mix well. Add more water if you like a thinner sauce. Add salt, pepper, hot sauce, garlic, sugar, and oregano, to taste. Add a big dab of butter and mix. Cook over very low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the flavors meld. You need to stir frequently as this sauce burns easily! This sauce is a great starting point if you want to add other things such as zucchini or eggplant, or finely grated carrots. Serve with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or ricotta.
