Ingredients
8 plum or sauce tomatoes, seeded and chopped2 medium red peppers, seeded and chopped1 medium onion, coarsely chopped4 small or 2 large garlic cloves, minced1 tbsp olive oil1 tsp dried oregano1 tbsp fresh basil, minced or 1 tsp dried basilFresh Italian parsley to taste
Directions
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a 10" skillet with a lid.
When oil is warm, add garlic and onions.
Cook for 30 seconds - 1 minute - so flavors fuse but garlic doesn't brown.
Add tomatoes and peppers, oregano and dried basil (if using fresh basil, stir that in at the end).
Bring heat up to medium to medium high and cook for 5 - 10 minutes until the vegetables blend and cook together.
When sauce is done, stir in fresh basil and/or fresh, chopped Italian parsley to taste. Stir until fresh herbs wilt.
Serve and enjoy! Freezes well, too.

     Very good! I added a yellow pepper in place of 1 of the red peppers and added some hot red pepper flakes. This is a keeper! - 9/6/08

     A good sauce to make ahead of time, freeze and take out when you want some quick pasta sauce. Its a good way to use the extra tomatoes from the garden. - 8/22/07

     This sounds like a great recipe for my father because he is diabetic and the sodium is low. I think I will try and make this weekend. Thanks for the recipe. I'll let you know how it turns out. - 1/22/10

     This was a far better base for a veggie rich tomato sauce than the one I came up with. I add shreeded carrots, celery and spinach and a few more tomatoes. Mmmmmm! - 6/30/09

     I like the sound of this sauce. I used to make my own but now just use the jarred sauce which is good but can't compare to the homemade. Yummy!! - 4/5/09

     Sounds great. QUESTION - I want to try canning tomato sauce. Will reduce tomatoes by boiling to consistency of romas. WHEN do I begin canning process?? Before the 5-10 minute cooking period? I use a pressure canner.
    Thanks to anyone who even has an idea about this!
