San Marzano Tomato Sauce

Ingredients        Serves 4-5


1 small onion- finely chopped * i used a sweet yellow but any kind works
4 leaves dry basil
1 bay leaf -fresh or dried
2 cans san marzano tomatoes - pureed* i highly recommend buying this type of canned tomato it makes a huge difference in your sauces flavor, yes they are a bit more expensive but worth the extra $1 or so

Method
Add the diced onion to the olive oil and on low heat gently cook until translucent about 15 min. Then add in the herbs and canned tomatoes. Season with 1 tsp sea salt and some fresh ground black pepper then simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly.* if sauce becomes too thick thin out with a touch of water 


*Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste
