Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

30 -35 roma tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh oregano
1 cup fresh basil leaf, lightly chopped (I love a lot of basil. You may want to do a little less)
1/2 - 1 cup sugar (to taste, I prefer it sweet too!)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Preparation

Wash all ingredients very well. Start with tomatoes and water over low heat in medium pot. Slowly stir in each ingredient and continue cooking and stirring for about 1/2 hour to an hour (at least, the longer/the better). If you can, refrigerate and reheat. I don't know why, but it taste better.
Great Additions: Artichoke Hearts, mushrooms, chopped onion, etc are just a few great additions you can add to this recipe! I have tried all of these just based on what I have in the kitchen at the time, and it always comes out great!
Note: This recipe is so versatile. Serve over pasta, I prefer linguini), vegetables, or even toasted crostini bread with a bit of mozzeralla on top. It can also be served cold over sliced toasted Italian bread as a bruschetta -- mmm.
Tip: I worked in a family owned Italian restaurant in high-school. They said to stir continually and never let the sauce boil. I try every time but have yet to succeed.
