Spaghetti Sauce

One of my goals for my 101 in 1001 days challenge was to make homemade spaghetti sauce. I say was because I have officially checked off the first item on my list.

I made spaghetti sauce last night and it turned out to be delicious! I tried to follow a recipe, but {like usual} my attempt to follow a recipe failed the moment I stepped foot in the grocery store and tried to find pureed tomatoes. So, of course, I improvised.

Here is my very own recipe for spaghetti sauce. I promise, it's delicious.

Ingredients:

3 cloves of garlic

1 whole small onion, chopped

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 {28 oz.} cans of crushed tomatoes

2 cans of tomato paste

Water

Basil and Oregano

Fresh parsley 

1. Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven on medium. Add the garlic and onion and sautee until the onion is clear, about five minutes.

2. Add the tomato paste and sautee for another three to four minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and fill one can with water and add. Stir together to mix, and add a handful of fresh parsley and basil and oregano {I can't tell you exactly how much to add, just use however much you usually use}. 

3. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer on low for an hour and a half. 

This recipe made four servings of the sauce. I used one last night for dinner and put the rest in single servings in the freezer for a later time. 

Enjoy!
