Directions:
Brown the garlic in the olive oil and remove the garlic. Brown meat or zucchini with onion in olive oil. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and water. Season with salt, pepper and oregano. Add sugar. Cook over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring every 20- 30 minutes. You may need to add a little more water. (You can cook it for about 20 minutes and then put it in a crock pot and let it cook all day if you want to). About half an hour before serving, stir in the cheese. Remove from heat and let it sit while cooking the pasta. Stir at least twice.
Enjoy. This makes a lot but it is even better the next day.
