So, I have a bad, bad cold... ick [:'(] and was making an old and easy "standard" for me today, and thought of this thread... now, some pasta sauce purists will hate me for this. Normally, I do the whole thing of chopping tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano, but, well, I'm sick, and it's easy and not bad. Simple Pasta Sauce -- Chunky (I like to see my tomatoes) • 1 medium onion -- diced • 4-5 cloves chopped (more or less to your liking) garlic (or equivalent in the jarred chopped stuff) • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil • 1 medium to large can of diced tomatoes • 1 really large can of ground peeled tomatoes • 1 small can of tomato sauce • 1 small can of tomato paste • Herbs (I use a big handfull of Italian Herb Mix, some basil, oregano, marjoram, red pepper flakes and a Bay Leaf) • Optional: Sprinkle of parmesan cheese • Optional: Italian Sausage In the olive oil, start to cook the onions until just translucent. Then add the can of diced tomatoes and herbs (except bay leaf), cook for a little while. Add the rest of your tomato products, bay leaf, and parmesan cheese. Bring to a bubble while stirring and add your uncooked Italian Sausage. Turn the heat to simmer and cook for 1 hour or so (the longer it cooks, I like it better -- hence, why I've got it going now at 3:30 in the afternoon for tonights dinner... LOL).
