| 1. Begin by mincing the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, red pepper, and parsley. | 2. Sauté them in a quarter cup of olive oil. | 3. Meanwhile, core and cut up the tomatoes. | 4. As soon as the onion has turned translucent, add the tomatoes and a teaspoon or so of salt to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. | 5. Cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, till the tomatoes begin to fall apart. | 6. Once the tomatoes are cooked, crank the mixture through a food mill, discarding the skins and seeds. | 7. You could also puree the sauce in a food processor. | 8. If you do, you may want to add a half teaspoon of sugar to counter the tartness of the tomato skins. | 9. In either case, check the seasoning and return the sauce to the heat until it has thickened and a drop put on a plate no longer gives off a huge watery halo (depending on how watery the sauce was to begin with, this can take up to an hour). | 10. When the sauce is done, stir in the basil leaves and turn off the heat. | 11. Transfer the sauce at once to clean jars, sealing each from the air by pouring a thin layer of olive oil over the sauce. | 12. Screw the lids onto the jars, and once they have cooled, refrigerate them. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
