Spaghetti Sauce

This is my homemade recipe for spaghetti sauce. I made it up a long time ago. I am sure others have come up with similar things! But this is my version.

Here is what you are going to need:
3 Tb olive oil
1 onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 large can of petite diced tomatoes
fresh mozzarella
salt pepper
sugar
basil
fresh parsley
bay leaf

I start by heating up about 3 tablespoons of olive oil, once it is heated I add 1 chopped onion….heat this until the onions are translucent! Then add 4 cloves of garlic chopped, and 1 bay leaf….heat for about a minute. Then add 1 large can of petite diced tomatoes. Let this simmer for about 8 minutes.

Then I take a potato masher and mash the tomatoes.

I then add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper to taste, 1 Tb. sugar, and 1 teaspoon of basil. Mix those spices in well.
Right before you are going to serve this, chop up about 3 handfuls of fresh parsley and mix it in.

After you place the sauce on the noodles top with fresh chunks of mozzarella.

This sauce is also really good used as your pizza sauce.
