This recipe is for those who have the time (preparation only - no cooking required!) to mix the ingredients for a purer and more customized taste.

• 6 ounce (170 g) can of tomato paste (with no additives is best)
• 1–1½ cups (250–375 ml) of water (depending on desired consistency)
• About ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil (more or less depending on taste)
• 1–3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch of anise (or substitute fennel)
• About ½ tablespoon dried oregano (according to preference)
• About ½ tablespoon dried basil (according to preference)
• Kosher salt to taste
• Ground black pepper to taste

1. Combine tomato paste, water, and oil.
2. Add garlic, basil, and oregano, mixing thoroughly.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. For best results place in refrigerator overnight or allow the mixture to rest before using.

• A quart mason jar works perfectly; ingredients can be added and shaken to mix.
