...honest to God Italian spagetti sauce using whole Italian Pomodori tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil...thats all, there is no oregano, basil or other "secret" spices. Its amazing how simplicity can taste so good

I totally agree! Right now I'm looking at a very good Italian cookbook, and their basic sauce recipe is almost identical to yours. Only they add finely chopped onions. It sounds great and I will make it when my tomatoes are ready.

My guy called the recipe above "The gravy" its the basic from where you can add whatever you like. I found that adding a 1/2 cup of dry white wine works well. Oh, I forgot, for a really rich sauce add one can of the same brand of tomato paste per two 24 oz cans of whole tomatoes. BTW, I crush the tomatoes by hand. I seems to give a better texture to the sauce than if you use a food processor or blender.
