Homemade Tomato Sauce

Serving Size:
6 (1/2 cup each)

Ingredients:
9 Plum Tomatoes, chopped
1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbl. Tomato Paste
Spices based on your own taste, I added: Oregano, Parsley, Red Pepper Flakes, Cayenne Pepper, Fresh Ground Black Pepper (I like a little kick!)

Directions:
Heat Olive Oil in a large saucepan on medium heat, add Onion and Garlic, and stir for 1 minute.
Add Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, and Spices.
Bring to a boil. Stir frequently for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to simmer for about an hour.
Pour into a blender/food processor, and blend using the lowest setting (on my blender it's called grate)

Simple to make, and can be added to almost any vegetable or meat throughout the week for a quick meal!
