My better half has a veggie garden in our back yard, and it is in full force. We had so much tomatoes and basil lately, didn’t know what to do with it. So, I made a homemade tomato sauce.

   2 cups (2 large) chopped onions
   2 garlic cloves, minced
   1/3 cup oil or olive oil
   8 cups (12 medium) coarsely chopped, pealed tomatoes
   1 tablespoon oregano leaves
   1 teaspoon sugar
   1 teaspoon basil leaves
   1 tea spoon rosemary leaves, crushed
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon pepper
   2 cups water
   12-oz can tomato paste 

In 4 quart saucepan or Dutch oven, saute onions and garlic in oil until tender.
Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

That was it. And I tell you, we didn’t have tomato paste and I chopped sweet italian sausage mixed it in. Took me about and hour and half, and it was amazingly good sauce. Whoa. Maybe it’s my hidden talent. Here I come Jamie Oliver, watch out!
