Directions:In a fry pan lightly brown the hamburg and salt and pepper it. In the meantime heat small amount of olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add to that the chopped onion, chopped parsley, and chopped or pressed garlic buds. Saute lightly. Add the hamburg to this mixture. Then add the whole tomatoes (slice up a bit using 2 knives to break them up a pit after they are in the pot) Add tomato sauce, tomato paste plus to cans of hot water tomato paste size. Add a heaping tablespoon of oregano, a little more than that of sweet basil and approximately 1 tsp of rosemary and one bay leaf. Add 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally. |

Notes: From Phyllis: The only thing I can remember differently is that at times if there were a lot of green peppers around Daddy chopped those up and sautéed them with the onions, parsley and garlic. You may want to change your seasonings around to your own taste. I actually add more sweet basil then I said. I go by the palm of my hand and I guess that is 2 tablespoons. Instead of regular spaghetti we often use rigatoni pasta After is has simmered for about 2 hours you may want to add more salt, but I have found that by having the tsp of sugar in the sauce it cuts down by 2/3's the amount of salt that you need. ENJOY.....Don't forget the Romano or Parmesan Cheese! (note from my mother taken off of original recipe card)
