Ingredients:
Tomato Sauce:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped – more if desired
2 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
2 teaspoons Watkins Italian Seasoning
2 Watkins Bay Leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan, stir together the oil, onion and garlic. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the onion is very soft and aromatic, about 6 to 8 minutes. In a food processor or blender, puree the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the onions and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to very low and let the sauce simmer slowly for 30 minutes, stirring the bottom often to prevent burning. If you are adding meatballs or browned ground beef, do so at this time and simmer them in the sauce for 20 minutes (50 minutes total). Season to taste with salt and pepper. When finished, pour it into a large, heavy-bottom saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
While sauce is simmering, prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Remove bay leaves from sauce; pour sauce over pasta and serve.
