Directions:
Pour olive oil in frying pan. Add tomatoes and chop them up. Add spices: Salt (shake 2 times around pan). Pepper (shake 3 times around pan). Sugar (start with 2-3 tbsp. and then add to taste). Sweet basil (add lots - you really can't have too much!). Add onion and garlic. Let tomatoes and spices come to a boil. Add 1/2 - 1 tsp. baking soda and stir. This will create some foam and reduce acidity and overall enhance the taste. Let tomatoes cook down about 1 hour. When tomatoes are done cooking, add drained peppers. Do not rinse the peppers! Let the peppers heat up. Serve with Italian sausage.

Personal Notes:
You can use dried sweet basil, but if you have fresh, all the better!

I have also put the peppers in from the start. They cook down and it makes a nice pasta sauce.
