Marinara Sauce

If you are a gardener, you know that homemade tomato sauce out of your own tomatoes is somehow, better then any other around.  If you don't have a garden or you used all your tomatoes up already...that is ok too!  Grab the kids & enjoy a rainy afternoon in the kitchen making up a fabulous sauce for supper!

Serves 4 (multiply as your family needs)

1/3 c olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled & sliced
3 Tbs finely chopped parsley
3 Tbs finely chopped onion
1 can (28oz) whole tomatoes
1 bay leaf
salt, pepper, fresh basil

In lg saucepan, heat oil over med heat.
Add garlic & saute 2-3 minutes
Add parsley & onion.  Slowly add tomatoes
Stir to break up tomatoes
Add bay leaf, salt & pepper.
Bring to a boil, cover & simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add some fresh, finely chopped basil.

Serve sauce with spaghetti, dip garlic breadsticks in it, or any other way you love to utilize your favorite sauce!
