Introduction

Delicious and easy to make tomato sauce at the end of summer. This recipe is great to freeze, it will stay fresh up to a year in the freezer....just pull out a serving and use it on your next batch of pasta...it is amazing to use for lasagna :)

I left out the oregano and thyme, I like to add for each dish separately (fresh herbs become pungent and bitter if over cooked) .

Ingredients

    2 onions
    2 green peppers
    3 stalks of celery
    3 carrots
    3 cloves of garlic
    60-70 oz. of fresh roma tomatoes
    1 tsp. salt
    1 tbsp. basil
    3 bay leaves
    3 tsp. sugar

Directions

In food processor chop onion, green pepper, celery, carrots, and garlic (this may take a few batches to complete).

In skillet on med. heat add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once oil has heated add chopped veggies, let cook for 2 minutes and add salt (this will allow the veggies to sweat).

While veggies are sweating, use food processor to chop tomatoes (again this will take several batches to complete).

Add to veggies in pot.

Allow to come up to a boil and reduce heat to medium low. Add the basil, bay leaves, and sugar.

Let simmer for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours adjust seasonings accordingly.

Serving size equals to 1/2 cup of sauce.
