Spaghetti Sauce

Today, I made homemade spaghetti sauce for the first time! Last week, I made a pork tenderloin in red wine and I needed it use it up. That coupled with 24 cent cans of tomatoes this week = cheap spaghetti sauce! And it is pretty tasty if I do say so myself! Here is the recipe: I doubled the recipe and made some modifications.. I used stewed tomatoes b.c I really have no idea what to use those for. They were Italian style. Monkey and I blended them in the blender after 2 hrs of cooking so they were more 'saucy'. I also didnt have tomato paste on hand so I used 1 can of Tomato sauce and 1 Tomato Puree. I also didnt add the spices b/c they were already in the tomato cans. I did add the Bay leaves. Super easy and monkey and I just tasted it and it is pretty tasty!

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes

2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste

2 tablespoons dried basil

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 bay leaves

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/4 cup red wine

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Saute onions and garlic until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for 3 hours.
