The Very Best Spaghetti Sauce

I say that as Don has been making this forever. You always want  more. Make it and you will see.

  • 4 tbsp. good olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 – 14 oz. cans of canned Italian tomatoes
  • 1 cup tomato juice
  • 3/4 tbsp. fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp. each of: basil, thyme, oregano
  • pinch of rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 lbs. hamburger
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tin tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 cup grated Asiago cheese

Mix all together in a large saucepot and simmer for about 1 – 1  1/2 hours until thick.  On each individual serving, sprinkle the Asiago cheese.

All that is needed for a perfect meal is to add a chilled salad, slice of garlic toast and a glass of red wine.
