Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 ts Olive oil, cold pressed
1/2 Onion -- finely chopped
1/2 ts Basil
1/2 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Marjoram
2 lg Garlic cloves -- chopped
6 oz Tomato paste
28 oz Tomatoes, canned or fresh
-chopped
1 c -- water
Salt and pepper

1. Place the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion,
basil, oregano, and marjoram and cook, covered, over
medium heat until the onion is golden. Add the garlic
and cook for 1 minute more. Remove the onion and
garlic and reserve. 2. Place the tomato paste in the
same saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes,
stirring constantly.

3. Add the canned tomatoes and mash wiht a fork or
potato masher. If you prefer a creamier sauce, blend
the tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Add the water
and bring to a fast boil.

4. Reduce the heat. Add the reserved onion, garlic,
salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring
occasionally.

Note: for a thick sauce (if sauce is to be used for
pizza), cook, uncovered, during the last half hour,
stirring often to prevent burning.
