Ingredients

8 servings

  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
  • 4 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 4 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 pinches baking soda, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Mix together whole tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, onions, basil, garlic, sugar, 1 pinch of baking soda, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat while stirring, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for at least 4 hours.
  • Stir in remaining pinch of baking soda; sauce will foam. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and almost brown. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pan into the sauce.
  • Stir in Parmesan cheese. Taste sauce: if too tangy or acidic, add another pinch of baking soda and simmer for 30 more minutes.
  • Let sauce cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight. Reheat the next day and serve.
