2 Bay Leaves
2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Onion, chopped
1 Leek, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
2 Carrots, peeled, chopped
2 Celery stalks, chopped
4 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoon Tomato paste
1 can 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
