  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      tablespoons   Olive oil
   4      large         Onions -- slice thin
   2      teaspoons     Granulated sugar
  12      pounds        Ripe tomatoes; peel, seed -- chop
   1      cup           Fresh basil leaves
   4      tablespoons   Fresh thyme -- mince
   2                    Whole cloves
   2                    Bay leaves
                        Salt and black pepper
   4                    Garlic cloves -- mince
     1/2  cup           Parsley -- mince
   4      teaspoons     Aioli

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and saute the onions until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add the sugar, tomatoes, basil, thyme, clove, bay leaves, salt and pepper.
 Simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes break down into a sauce, about 20 minutes.
 Remove the bay leaves and cloves; puree the mixture in a blender or food processor
. Reserve half the puree for a later meal. If the remaining puree is too thick, thin to the 
consistency you prefer with water. Return to the heat and simmer another 5 minutes.
 Turn off the heat. Spoon into 4 serving bowls and stir 1 ts aioli into each serving
