I had some fresh tomatoes from the garden to use up and decided to try my luck at some homemade spaghetti sauce. The tomato paste really helped to thicken up the sauce and it tasted pretty good.
SAUCE:
1/4 cup instant minced onions
5 cloves garlic, minced
4 to 4 1/2 C fresh tomatoes blended up a little with tomato skins off
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 bay leafs
1 OR 2 (6 ounce) can tomato paste seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano (I start with one and depending on the thickness I would add another if the sauce is too thin).
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasonings
Directions
I use a crock pot to help me out with this sauce. Put all the ingredients in a crockpot and simmer for 6 to 7 hours on low. Stir and serve over noodles or use in making lasagna or manicotti.
