Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ onion, sliced into thin crescent wedges
  • 1 can (#2½) Italian peeled tomatoes
  • ½ tbsp pepper
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • ¼ tbsp basil
  • pinch oregano
  • parsley
  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • grated romano cheese
  • hot dried chili pepper

Directions

1

Put 2 tbsp salt into 4 quarts water and bring to boil.

2

In skillet, heat olive oil; add onion and garlic cloves.

3

Sauté until brown and remove garlic.

4

Put tomatoes in blender with some of the liquid from the can and mix gently, less than a minute.

5

Slowly pour tomatoes into skillet.

6

Be very careful because the liquid on the oil has a tendency to explode.

7

Let this simmer for about 15 minutes.

8

After adding seasoning, when spaghetti has been placed in boiling water is done, pour sauce over this.

9

Drain spaghetti first.

10

Sprinkle with parsley and serve with small side dishes of red pepper flakes and romano cheese, hot crusty French bread and Italian red wine.

11

Don't forget the red checkered tablecloth.
