    This is a big dish that I threw together this weekend to rave reviews. I add a little sugar a la "The Godfather". Remember that scene?

    Ingredients

    • 3 cloves garlic
    • 1/8 cup olive oil
    • 2 small carrots, finely chopped
    • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
    • 28 oz diced tomatoes
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 heaping tbsp basil
    • 1 heaping tsp oregano
    • 1/2 cup chick stock
    • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1 tsp brown sugar
    • 1/2 medium onion
    • 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
    • 2 strips bacon
    • 1lb italian sausage (loose, not rolled)
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. First brown the meats and set aside: Coursely chop the bacon and saute in a pan with one finely chopped garlic clove. When browned, remove from heat into a bowl. Leave the fat. Add sausage and brown. When done, put in same bowl as bacon.
    2. In a large pan, lightly fry remaining garlic, onion, carrots and celery in olive oil on medium heat. Add tomatoes after about 5 minutes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
    3. Add remaining ingredients and simmer (covered) for 30-45 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary.
    4. Add meats to sauce and slowly simmer for another 1 hour, stiring about every 15 minutes.
    5. Serve with your favorite pasta!
