Cook Time: 60 min
Ingredients
1
Large yellow onion, diced
8 Cloves
Garlic, minced
2 Tsp

26.46 Ounces

Directions
1
In a large non-stick skillet, dry saute the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and is just starting to caramelize (when the onion starts to turn a light brown color, but most of the onion is still translucent), about 10 – 15 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and mix well. Add both the chopped and strained tomatoes, mix well, and bring to a simmer. Add the bay leaf and stir. Partially cover the skillet with a lid and simmer the sauce for 1 hour to allow the sauce to become thick, stirring about every 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the basil leaves, stirring well.

Serve over pasta, polenta or potatoes.
Note: You may leave out the crushed red pepper flakes for a traditional Marinara sauce. Remove the bay leaf and basil leaves when using as a sauce in other dishes (such as the Italian Scalloped Potatoes recipe in Entrees).
