Spaghetti Sauce

Spaghetti Sauce

(I usually double this recipe)

1 large can (29 oz.) tomato puree
2 sm cans tomato paste
1.5 cups water (as needed)
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic minced
1 clove garlic
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 # ground round beef
1/2 # ground pork
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
2 tbsp. butter
1 onion chopped
1 whole onion
1 tsp. sugar
Salt to taste.

In a large saucepan, saute chopped onion, garlic and olive oil. Add gr. beef and pork and stir until brown. Add Italian seasoning. Add tomato puree and tomato paste. Rinse the cans with water and add to the pot. Stuff a clove of garlic inside the whole onion and add the onion to the sauce. Add the sugar, butter and salt. Stir to an easy boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1.5- 3 hours. Be careful not to simmer too high because burns easily. Try to stir every 15-20 min. Add a little bit of salt every time you stir and keep tasting. Once done, add the cheese and stir.
