I have been cleaning out a little and finding all kinds of treasures such as old photos, cards from friends and...hand scrawled recipes! Including John's red sauce which I think I wrote down as he was making several years ago at the lakehouse to use in lasagna. Pretty tasty, the flavor just gets better as it simmers!

Recipe: John's Red Sauce
Olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
3 tbsp. garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 tbsp. dried basil
1/2 tbsp. dried oregano
2, 28 oz. cans of crushed tomatoes
1 28 oz. can chunky-style crushed tomatoes
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 tbsp. vinegar

Sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion is softened. Add the red pepper, basil and oregano, simmer for a few more minutes. Add the tomatoes and vinegar. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, until it begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper; taste and adjust.

Delicious.
