By mariannefeldman

Ingredients

• olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed- 2 or 3 cloves
• 2 cans @ 28 oz crushed tomatoes (Progresso is good)
• 1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt -kosher -Diamond Crystal-Morton is saltier)(use less of regular table salt)
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Coat bottom of pan with olive oil.

Saute onion for a few minutes (do not let it brown), add garlic & saute for a few more minutes (never let garlic brown-it turns bitter)

Stir in canned tomatoes

Add seasonings-these amounts will have to be adjusted- add a little of each & taste-
As sauce cooks it will concentrate-you can add more salt later but you can't take it out!

Simmer slowly & keep tasting for seasoning
