This recipe has been handed down through my Italian side of the family. I make such a large amount so I can freeze it and use it when I need it. This will make about 12- 16 quarts. I store it in microwaveable containers in the freezer and defrost when it is needed. I also give this away as gifts at Christmas (along with my home made meatballs). I never really measure when cooking, so these are all guesstiments. =) I love garlic, so I tend to use a lot.
