Basic Homemade Tomato Sauce

Here is my homemade tomato sauce recipe. It is easy and delicious. Make a large batch and then freeze some for later.  It is easy to pull out for a quick spaghetti meal during the week.

Ingredients:

4 boxes of Pomi Chopped Tomatoes.

8 cloves of garlic pressed

1 small sweet onion chopped very fine

4 fresh basil leaves

pinch of baking soda

olive oil

Directions:

In a large pot,  saute the onions in the olive oil until golden, add the garlic and saute while stirring frequently. You don't want the garlic to burn. Add the 4 boxes of chopped tomatoes. Bring to a hard boil. Add a pinch of baking soda and stir. This takes the acidity out of the tomatoes and makes the sauce sweet. Lastly add the fresh basil. Stir one more time. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour with the pot partially covered. Stir every so often throughout the hour.
