Homemade Red Sauce

Start with about 5-8 ripe large tomatoes. (chop them up into large pieces or in fourths)
You will also need:

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Large yellow onion (chopped)
Fresh Basil (1 pkg or if you grow your about 8-10 leaves)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minces garlic
1 small can tomato paste

Heat on low for about 10 hours in a slow cooker

(half way through I used a tomato smasher to mash it all together)

Once it looks pretty well cooked I let it cool.

Then you will need

2 zucchinis
4 carrots (large, peeled and chopped)

Heat some water to boiling and add in chopped zucchini and carrot.
Once tender (about 5-8 min) drain.
Add vegetables to tomato sauce


Next you will ladel in the tomato sauce into a blender.

Blend on high until smooth.

Taste! At this point you should taste your sauce. Depending on your preferences, tomatoes, etc you'll want to see if you want to add anything else to your sauce.

Let the mixture cool and then refrigerate

My batch made one and a half large jars, about 8 cups of sauce. I made mine each a  little different.
One with extra veggies added and the other a spicier red sauce with red pepper.

This sauce is fresh, delicious, and goes with ANYTHING....over pasta, on pizza, as a dip.....
