1 Small Onion Diced
4 Garlic Cloves Chopped
1 (28 ounce) Can Crushed Tomato
2 Bay Leaves
6 Fresh Basil Leaves
2 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
In a sauce pot, saute the olive oil, onion, and garlic over medium heat. Sprinkle with Salt & pepper, and stir. Keep stirring until the onion becomes soft, and add the can of sauce. Add very little water (maybe a 1/4 of cup) and mix. Once sauce boils turn heat to low and add bay leaves, basil, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer on low anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours.
I grew up in an Italian household, and learned how to cook from my mom. I took a lot of what she taught me and incorporated it into things that I enjoy. Feel free to use any of these recipes, and leave some feedback if you do. I don't necessarily measure everthing out, as I cook to taste most of the time. The one ingredient that every recipe should have is Love! If you don't cook with Love, your food will not come out right. I suggest a big helping of Love in every recipe!
