the best we've ever had.
Saute onions in olive oil (make sure there’s enough to cover bottom of pan) for a few minutes. Add green pepper, garlic, salt, pepper, fennel seeds & red pepper flakes. Add tomato paste & blend together for a few minutes.
Add tomatoes & 1/4 can of water. Stir & bring to boil.
Add oregano, basil & more fennel seeds (if needed). Cover pot, reduce heat to low & simmer approx. 2 hours (stirring occasionally).
Mash tomatoes, add parsley & taste. Adjust salt, pepper, basil & fennel seeds as needed. Cook another 4-6 hours on low with lid cracked, tasting & stirring as you go (needs to be bubbling).
