Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 Dozen Good Sized Roma Tomatoes, 4 Pounds, Grated
2 Small Cans (6 Ounce) Tomato Paste
2 Cups Diced Bell Peppers (you pick the color), a good sized Bell is about 1 Cup
2 Cups Onion (you pick the color), 1 Medium-Large Onion should yield that
1 Head of Peeled Garlic, Diced
2 Bay Leaves (Bay Laurel)
2 teaspoons Dried Basel
2 teaspoons Dried, Ground Rosemary
2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
2 teaspoons Each Salt & Pepper
1 Cup Red Wine (I like Chianti or Valpolicella)
EVOO for the Saute

Directions:
Directions:
Grating The Tomatoes:

1. Place a Large Box Grater on a Large Bowl on a No-Slip Surface.
2. Cut just the bottom tip off the tomato.
3. Grate on the Large Grate from the exposed bottom of the tomato until you cannot hold it any more or you start to see white stuff in your Tomato Pulp – each tomato takes about a minute to a minute and a half.
4. Pick out and discard any large pieces of skin (there should not be many).

Putting it all Together:

1. Lightly coat the bottom of a 6 Quart pot with EVOO – bring to heat at Medium High Heat – you don't want to smoke it.
2. Add the Onion and Bell Peppers to the hot oil and let it go for at least 5 Minutes (until you get some color on the Onion)
3. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon each Salt and pepper – go for another 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Add the Tomato Pulp and the Red Wine and lower the heat to Medium Low and cover for 15 Minutes.
5. Add the Basel, Oregano, Bay Leaf, Ground Rosemary & Thyme – stir well, it takes a while…
6. Turn down the heat all the way and go another 10 Minutes, Covered.
7. Add the rest of the Salt & Pepper – stir.
8. Uncover and go for another 20 Minutes, or until it smells just right.
9. Add your Tomato Paste – stir in.
10. Allow the sauce to start to bubble and kill the heat.
11. Remove the Bay Leaves.
12. Once cool, run the Boat Motor over it or process in a Blender on Low for about 30 Seconds to 1 Minute.
