Tomato Sauce Basic | ||
1/4 cup | 59ml | Olive oil |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Onion - chopped (medium) |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Pepper |
3 | Garlic - minced | |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Sugar |
1 | Progresso crushed tomato | |
1/4 cup | 36g / 1.3oz | Freshly chopped parsley |
1 | Progresso Italian style | |
1/4 cup | 36g / 1.3oz | Freshly chopped basil |
1 | Bay leaf |
Sauteeonion and garlic in olive oil in medium saucepan till translucent.
Put Italian style tomatoes in blender; puree, and pour into saucepan. Add can of crushed tomatoes. Add Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
Add fresh parsley and chopped basil and simmer another 15 minutes. If you would like to add browned ground beef, meatballs, or sausage....this would be the perfect sauce to do so. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a Tbl or two of tomato paste. I personally just don't think it needs it.
