just maybe&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/032711f2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98\" title=\"032711f\" src=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/032711f2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/032711f2.jpg 500w, http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/032711f2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Basic Italian Tomato Sauce<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040111a2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-99\" title=\"040111a\" src=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040111a2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040111a2.jpg 500w, http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040111a2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\n<table class=\"ERHDTable\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"item ERName\"><span class=\"fn\">Basic Italian Tomato Sauce<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"ERRatingOuter\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"ERRatingInner\" style=\"width: 0%;\">#inner#<\/div>\n<div class=\"review hreview-aggregate\"><span class=\"rating\"><span class=\"average\">#ratingval#<\/span> from <span class=\"count\">#reviews#<\/span> reviews<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"ERHDPrint\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"btnERPrint\" style=\"display: none;\">Print<a href=\"#printlink#\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Recipe Type: <span class=\"tag\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">NorikoBurky<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <span class=\"preptime\">15 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT15M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <span class=\"cooktime\">30 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT30M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <span class=\"duration\">45 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT45M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">3 cups<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary\"><span class=\"summary\">This tomato sauce can be used for pizza, pasta and many other dishes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">10 Roma Tomatoes<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 white onion<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 cloves garlic<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3Tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2tsp salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp thyme<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp fennel seeds<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp basil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1tsp oregano<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3Tbsp tomato paste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4Tbsp ketchup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2tsp sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1Tbsp vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Make a small cross cut on each end of the tomatoes.
