I have to admit that I'm not a bake/cook/make from scratch type of person. Why you may ask? I'm a wife, a mom, a student and volunteer.. 24 hrs in one day just is NOT enough time for me! I enjoy the convenience of certain things .. knowing it takes 16 roma tomatoes to make 1 cup of pasta sauce makes me Loooove canned tomatoes! Today I'm making a yummy Spaghetti dinner for the family! It's no Sunday tradition like my friend Bianca's grandmother has instilled, but I already have all the ingredients in house, and it saves me a trip to the grocery store today!
Ingredient List:
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1/2 medium onion, minced
1 can- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
1 can- 29 oz tomato sauce
1/2 cup red wine (save the rest to drink later!)
2 tbsp Italian Season
1 tbsp Dried Parsley
1 tbsp Dried Basil
1 Bayleaf
Heat the oil over medium-low. Saute the garlic and onion until golden - do not burn. Add wine and simmer for 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes, spices and bayleaf and simmer covered until ready to serve.
Note- The longer you let your sauce simmer, the more intense the flavors become. It is best to simmer a minimum of 2 hrs. Remove bayleaf before service.
