Pasta Sauce

My own spaghetti sauce!

Ingredients
Extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion chopped fine
2 cloves garlic minced
3-4 pieces of pork meat-neck bones, breast or riblets
2-28oz cans of whole plum peeled tomatoes puréed
1 5.5oz can tomato paste
Water
1 tbsp butter
1 bunch basil chopped or torn
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Heat a large pot on medium heat and add just enough olive oil to cover the bottom.
Add pork meat and cook till brown, stirring frequently. Add chopped onions, salt and pepper and cook till soft. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes.

Add about 1/2 cup of water stir with wooden spoon and rest the spoon on top of pot with lid leaving a vent. Stir occasionally until most of the water evaporates.
Stir in puréed tomatoes. Add water by rinsing cans. Add paste, butter, basil, salt and pepper.
Raise the heat to a high boil, then simmer for 1 hour. Vent the pot once again and simmer for 1 hour.

Notes
For a tastier sauce, add Italian sausage and meatballs when browning the meat.
