Semi-Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

~ Want to make  your own semi-homemade spaghetti sauce?

~ I have an easy recipe to share with you!

Recipe makes approximately 4 cups of sauce

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet/frying pan
• Chop up 1/4 medium sized onion into small pieces
• Saute onion until it starts to get a tad bit carmel color or brownish (do not burn)
• Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic (I have a jar I keep on hand in my refrigerator)
• saute for a few moments longer (you will be adding this mixture to another mixture shortly)

In a large saucepan, add the following ingredients:

• 1  14-oz can of tomato sauce
• 2  6-0z cans of tomato paste (I use Italian style)
• 2  tablespoons of dried basil
• fresh ground pepper
• 2  14-oz cans water

Whisk all ingredients above together, after onion/garlic/olive oil mixture are sauteed, pour into saucepan of tomato sauces and bring to a boil and then simmer 20 minutes.

 Makes approximately 4 cups of sauce.

You can add your own special items like chopped green pepper, etc., but I would suggest sauteing them to make them soft.
