I love this sauce. This sauce changed everything for me. I used to exclusively buy jar sauce until I had this sauce and discovered how easy it is to make. Ok I still have a jar or two in the pantry for when I'm feeling lazy or when I haven't planned ahead for dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, pressed
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
3 carrots, peeled & finely chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
2, 32 oz cans crushed tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1. In a large stock pot heat oil. Add garlic, onion, celery & carrots and saute for about 10 minutes until they become tender. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and bay leaves. Simmer for one hour over low heat, uncovered, until the sauce thickens.
2. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Season with more salt & pepper to taste. Let cool for 20-30 minutes and puree in the blender. Serve with your favorite pasta.
(Can be made one day ahead.)
