Ingredients

Directions
In heavy pot, heat the oil. Then add the fatback (if using) and garlic and saute until golden brown. Remove the fatback, then add the onions and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes (crush by hand into the pot). Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
After finished, turn off the heat and add the basil.

Very good--close to my own, though I often just use bacon. But the addition of a bit of a certain cheese -not parmesan, sorry- would take this over the top. The secret will be pried from my cold, dead hands! Mwahahaha!

Great Marina! Having an uncle who came from Italy this is a great time saver when his takes 6+ hours to make.
Thanks
