Once you make this sauce, you will never want to buy the jar jazz again. It is easy. You should make lots and freeze extras for later. It can be pizza sauce, served over noodles, make lasagna with it, or my kids dip the homemade french bread right in it. We met some Italian friends that shared this with my husband one year. They insist on Hunt’s tomato sauce in their recipe. I made my own sauce from garden tomatoes last summer and it was good too!
5-10 garlic cloves minced
1 onion minced
(I started just blending in the ninja chopper so there would be no chunks in the sauce for that one kid of mine that doesn’t like chunks – and its fast too!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Giant can of Hunt’s tomato sauce or 105 ounces
4 tablespoons Italian seasoning (basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme)
2 tablespoons extra oregano
(adjust seasonings to taste)
In large Dutch oven, sauté onion and garlic mixture in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add tomato sauce and seasonings. Then simmer for ½ hour to hour. The world will not end if you simmer longer the sauce just gets thicker and sometimes I do. It just depends on how much time you have to make it. After simmered, divide into freezer containers.
OR make a lasagna for freezer meal. OR manicotti for freezer meal. OR have spaghetti. OR make a meatball and have spaghetti and meatballs. Or make some pizzas. OR you get the idea you can take over the kitchen world with this sauce alone.
