Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion, small dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 bay leaf (fresh or dry)
  • 1 sprig fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dry)
  • 2 clove garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon 28-ounce cans of canned tomatoes, chopped (preferably san marzano)

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Cook the onions with the olive oil, oregano, bay, garlic and salt over a medium heat in a large 12-quart pot, stirring constantly, until soft and translucent (about 15 minutes).

Add the tomato paste and continue cooking for five minutes.

Add the canned tomatoes and stir constantly until the sauce begins to boil.

Continue cooking for 1 hour, stirring every four or five minutes so that the sauce does not burn.

Season with extra salt to taste.
