Uncle Steve's Sauce
This is the modified raw version of my dad’s famous pasta sauce. I have 75+ cousins who call my dad “Uncle Steve” and request his sauce at family gatherings. He usually makes a few gallons at a time and jars it (that’s what is in the picture). He gives his jars of sauce as gifts and to anyone he loves a whole lot – that’s why I used to get so much. :) I have pared down the quantities quite a bit though. This sauce is so flavorful and delicious, that I am so glad I don’t have to do without even though I am raw now!!!
4 Roma Tomatoes
½ cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, Soaked
1½ tablespoon Sciabica Fresh Pressed Olive
Oil
6 leaves Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage,
etc.)
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 teaspoon Red Wine or Red Wine Vinegar (optional)
Blend all of the above in a food processor and enjoy!!
You can add the fresh tomatoes first or last, depending on how chunky you like your sauce. I like to let the sauce sit a while before I eat it to let all of the flavors meld together.

If the spices are too overpowering, my dad (aka Uncle Steve) recommends adding more fresh tomatoes. Enjoy!!

I'm eating this now over zuchinni "spaghetti" and topped with pine nut parmesan. Really good! I used marsala wine and added a sprinkle of dried hot pepper. I didn't measure the cinnamon exactly so I think I may have used too much, because its a little overpowering. This was so easy :)
