Easy Spaghetti Sauce

I was buying Ragu my entire life and it was never quite enough or too much. It was also expensive compared to a can of tomato sauce. So I thought I'd try to make my own. I found out that it was super easy to do.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 (26 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, petite
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1  teaspoon dried basil
• 1  teaspoon dried oregano
• 1  bay leaf

Directions

1. Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and bay leaf to a saucepan.
2. Simmer with a lid on for about 1/2 hour to get rid of that 'canned tomato' taste.
3. READY TO SERVE.
4. MEAT SAUCE VARIATION:
5. After letting sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, I often add 1 lb browned ground turkey and 1 cup sauteed diced onion. I let it simmer another 1/2 hour and it is ready to go over pasta.
6. Enjoy.
