Redroses: my family doesn't like chunky sauce either, nor do they like meat sauces. My Italian grandmother gave me her recipe--really simple, you can add spices to your taste-again, my family likes it basic (would you say boring?)
1 can tomato puree and = can of water
1 can tomato paste and = can of water
1 tblsp olive oil in bottom of pan
fresh garlic clove crushed or garllic flakes
sm amount oregano
sm amout red pepper flakes
That's it-I usually let it simmer all afternoon. If I want to add meatballs, I bake them first and add them the last half hour.
You can doctor this up any way you want with cooked chicken or pork, etc. Add any other spices you like.
