"Lynne's Gravy" - (Italian Tomato Sauce)

2 cloves garlic
1 (12oz) can tomato paste
2 large cans crushed tomatoes
1 large can tomato sauce or puree
Fresh basil
Italian seasoning
Parsley
Salt and pepper
2 tsp. sugar
Parmesan or romano grated cheese
Meatballs and Italian sausage

Brown garlic in olive oil in bottom of large saucepan. Add tomato paste and one can of water; stir. Add remaining cans of tomatoes and spices (amounts to your taste) and let simmer for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

In the meantime, fry or broil meatballs and sausage. When done, put meat in sauce and let cook for at least hour.

The large amount this makes is great for freezing leftovers in 1qt containers.
