Liz's ULTIMATE Sauce :

If you haven't noticed by now, sauce is my FAVORITE thing to eat and make. I just think that with the perfect sauce, your eating options are ENDLESS, not only does sauce go over top of pasta, but it can be turned into soup, dip, salsa, pizza... or put it on top of chicken or fish! Really the possibilities you have when you make a pot of sauce are ENDLESS.
I'm going to share my DELICIOUS sauce recipe that you will always be craving, trust me... try it out and let me know what you think!

* I can't share the 2 secret ingredients because once this sauce becomes famous, EVERYONE will want to know why it tastes SO GOOD! However, the sauce will be delicious without these, but with them it's just OUTRAGEOUS!

To Make:

In a large pot, drizzle about 1/2 cup of olive oil and saute the onions, garlic and red bell peppers for about 10 -12 minutes on medium low heat until they are very tender, lightly salt and stir every few minutes.

In the meantime, in a food processor, combine the diced tomatoes and basil leaves and pulse 6 times for 2 seconds each until the basil is chopped up.

Empty the diced tomatoes and basil into the sauce pot and stir together. Add the other two cans of PLAIN tomato sauce into the pot and stir together. Add 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Add 1 tsp. of sugar and 1 tablespoon of the following, salt, pepper, oregano and as much crushed red pepper as preferred.

Mix all ingredients together and let this sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes before serving. The longer the sauce can cook, the better it will be... cook on medium LOW heat and check frequently and stir every 5 minutes.

DELICIOUS... this sauce CAN'T be beat...
