A basic red sauce is really easy to make.
Tomato paste
Tomato puree
crushed fresh garlic
basil
oregano
salt
water
Meat (optional)
Brown meat with olive oil in the bottom of a stock pot unless you are doing seafood.
Add tomato puree and water on a one to one can basis. Add 1 can of tomato paste for every two cans of puree.
Add salt, garlic, basil, and oregano to taste.
Bring to simmer and cook to desired thickness stirring occasionally.
The sauce will really take on the flavor of the meat. Crab and squid will be sweeter while sausage, meatballs, or simply ground meat will give a richer meaty taste.
