Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
6 lbs coarsely chopped peeled tomatoes (about 6 cups)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 cups hot cooked spaghetti (about 1 lb uncooked pasta)

Directions:

If fresh tomatoes aren't available, you can substitute a 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped, plus a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes, undrained, instead.
To balance the flavor and thicken the sauce, add 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the canned tomatoes.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add tomato, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in basil and parsley, and cook 1 minute.
Serve over pasta.
