Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

I used to make my homemade spaghetti sauce by doctoring up cans of paste, sauce, and crushed tomatoes. Then I discovered how easy and delicious making my own from actual scratch could be, and being told “This is seriously the best sauce I have ever eaten” was the clincher.  While there is a bit more prep involved the taste more than makes up for it and once you get it going you can walk away and let it simmer for several hours with only the occasional stir. Your house will smell amazing while this homemade spaghetti sauce cooks down.

Ingredients:

Drain water out of pan and place olive oil,  tomatoes, onions, and peppers in the same pan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer on high for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
