Simple spaghetti sauce that far surpasses the commercially produced stuff. Simple spaghetti sauce that far surpasses the commercially produced stuff.
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    1 large onion, chopped
    3 cloves of garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 large bell pepper, chopped
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    1 tablespoon dried oregano
    32 ounces of diced tomatoes, canned
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions

Saute chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the onion is becoming translucent. Add the minced garlic, and lower the heat to prevent the garlic from burning. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds, just until the garlic is slightly cooked. Add the chopped bell pepper to the pan, and increase the heat. Stir in the basil and the oregano, and cook for a minute.

Add the diced tomatoes, liquid and all. Simmer over low heat for at least 10 minutes so that the flavors can develop. Alternatively, you can place all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4. Toward the end of cooking, add a tablespoon of red wine vinegar.

If a smooth texture is desired, puree in a blender, or use an immersion blender. Other nice additions: diced carrots, added with the bell peppers; red pepper flakes for some heat; rosemary or marjoram to taste.

Makes enough spaghetti sauce to serve 6 generously.
