Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a 5+ qt. pot over medium heat, and add the onion.

Step 2

Saute for 10 minutes or so, stirring often and being careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Add the chopped or pressed garlic.

Step 4

Heat for another one to two minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic, then add all the tomatoes, black pepper, basil and sugar. Stirring often, bring to a low boil.

Step 5

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours stirring often.

Step 6

For the first half of the simmer time, do so with the pot uncovered, then cover.

Step 7

Add the cheese, stir in and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or so.

Step 8

This will make the equivalent to 4-5 jars of sauce, and the cost is probably about half (and it tastes way better).
