Spaghetti Sauce

I have been buying Spaghetti sauce for ages. We've tried almost every kind and sometimes find one we like for awhile. Then one day I used an Italian recipe from Italian Cookery by Pauline Barrese (whose cover has long since fallen off and cost $4.95 whenever someone bought it). The recipe is easy and it tastes twice as good as boughten and it is "Gluten Free Anyway"! Mama Mia - what was I thinking!

Spaghetti Aglio E Olio
Spaghetti with Oil and Garlic


Ingredients
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 Onion diced
2 Garlic cloves minced
1 tsp Basil
1 Can (small size) tomato paste
2 Cups water
Salt and Pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese as desired

Instructions
Heat oil and cook onions and garlic until golden. Add tomato paste and water. Mix well and bring to a boil. Add Basil, Salt and Pepper. Cook it until it is thick and serve over Gluten Free spaghetti noodles.

Comments:
I like this recipe because so many boughten sauces are full of sugar - which doesn't improve the taste and my body doesn't need. You can do variations with this recipe such as adding canned diced tomatoes. I'm sure fresh Basil would be good as well.
