- 3 large cloves garlic, pressed

- 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning see Recipe
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)

Directions
- In a large pot over medium, heat oil before adding white onions and red peppers; season with salt. Sauté the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add pressed garlic and sauté it for only 1 minute.

- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. To prevent the tomato sauce from splashing everywhere, place the lid slightly ajar.
