    Ingredients (use vegan versions):



      This isn't exactly Grandma's recipe, but it's close (she was adorable
      and a great cook). I've simplified it just a bit.


      Take 3 large cans of peeled tomatoes (28 oz. - Progresso brand is
      best). Process in a blender until liquid. Set aside.


      Saute 1 med. finely chopped onion and 5 finely chopped garlic cloves in
      enough olive oil to cover 1/4" of the bottom of a a large NON-ALUMINUM
      saucepan.


      Add tomatoes (carefully; the oil will splatter). Stir.


      Add 1 small can tomato paste; use a little warm water to remove stuck
      paste from can and add the water to the sauce.


      Add salt (to taste); 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper; 3 Tablespoons
      oregano; 2 tablespoons basil; a pinch of thyme; a whole bayleaf; 1
      teaspoon vegan sugar.


      (Optional add 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper and/or mushrooms)


      Stir well over med-high heat until sauce just comes to a boil. Lower
      heat. Simmer 1 hour.


      While the sauce is simmering, add 1/2 cup of vegan red wine.


      This should give you enough sauce for several meals. Freezes very
      well, but don't use a plastic container--the sauce will stain the
      container.
