Recipe Tips
It's critical to use fresh basil
although you can use dried thyme and oregano if desired.Do not use any canned tomatoes that have corn syrup in them. If you're using home-canned tomatoes
you'll need 3 quarts. If you want a spicier sauce
add either crushed red pepper to taste or use hot Italian sausage.
