This recipe is primarily for use on pasta. But I suppose it could be enjoyed on rice or even as a stand alone, as strange as that may be. Maybe put it on a slice of bread? Anything that calls for red sauce. This is the standard.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2+ pounds tomato
• 3+ cloves garlic
• 1 onion
• 1/4 cup butter
• fresh basil
• meat (optional)
• salt
• pepper
• red pepper flakes or Tabasco sauce

Tools

• Large frying pan
• wooden spoon
• food processor (optional)

Directions

1. Put butter in frying pan on medium heat.
2. Chop up the onion, garlic, and meat; put them in the frying pan. Stir it from time to time; don't let it burn.
3. While that's frying, chop up the tomatoes. When the stuff in the pan starts to brown, ⁱ add the tomatoes. ⁱⁱ
4. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for a while. Stir it occasionally.
5. When it's to your liking, chop up the basil and add it before serving. ⁱⁱⁱ
6. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
