Rao's Marinara Sauce image

I got this receipe from Martha Stewart's website. This great recipe is from "Rao's Cookbook" by Frank Pellegrino. This stuff sells for $7.50 a quart in Florida. I use it with Frankie's Meatball s recipe found here on Recipezaar. This is the "real deal."

112 ounces tomatoes with basil, whole and canned

1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, freshly gound

Immediately reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 hour.
