Homemade Tomato Sauce

This recipe is delicious. I kept saying that it was almost as good as the store-bought ones, until I was back in America and tasted them. This is way better.

Ingredients:
2 lt Tomato juice (I suppose sauce would work equally well, or better. Never tried it though.)
3 onions
1 head garlic
2 tomatoes
10 mushrooms (optional)
2 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 shake red pepper flakes
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp parsley
chopped meat (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil.
Oil for frying

Dice onions. Saute in oil. Add Garlic. If adding meat, brown it and add. Add tomato juice, tomatoes, mushrooms, and any other vegetables you’d like. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Add olive oil. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, covered. Sauce should be reduced by at least ¼ and much darker. Taste. Add seasoning to taste.

If you’d like pizza sauce simmer an additional ½ hours. The sauce will be even darker and thicker.
