Doris Roberts' Meat Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons basil
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 pinch oregano (large)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb ground beef
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes with basil
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree

Preparation

Cover the bottom of a large pan with good olive oil and turn heat under it to medium. When the oil becomes fragrant, it is warm enough to add the garlic. Add garlic, onion, basil, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper and saute until onion is golden.
Add meat and cook until brown, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Add the tomatoes, crushing them by hand. Add puree. Cover and lower heat, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Serve over your favorite pasta or use in lasagna.
