Ingredients:  

4 medium onions chopped finely
1 cup olive oil
2 cans 28 oz. peeled tomatoes
2 cans 12 oz. tomato paste. Diluted in 1 cup of water
10 leaves basil
A pinch of oregano
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb. pork neck bones
10 pork spareribs
5 links of sausages
8 oz. pork skin cut in thin strips
You can also add meat balls, boneless pork or beef loin roast larded with garlic.
Directions:
Directions:
Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until the onions are golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add tomato paste a little at a time, stirring constantly. Cook it a few minutes and add an additional 2 cups of water. In a large bowl strain tomatoes to eliminate the seeds, or if you do not mind the seeds use a blender to crush the tomatoes, put into the saucepan. Add salt, pepper, oregano, and bay leaves. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes.
Wash neck bones, spareribs, and pork skin strips, add them to the pot.
Separate sausages into links and with any other meat, add to the sauce.
Heat to a boil, then reduce heat, taste for salt and simmer for 2 hours.
If it is too salty add a few skinned whole potatoes. When you first begin to cook the sauce it will be a little watery, as the sauce cooks it will reach the right consistency.
