Mom's Spaghetti Sauce image

This is my Mom's sauce, the sauce I grew up with and loved...but now that I am grown I have made a few changes but posted the orginal recipe from my Mom. Basically for my grown up taste, I increased all the spices. I would like to say I doubled them, but I'm sure it is probably even more. I just cup my hand pour some spice in and throw it in the pot. And I also tend to let it simmer on the stove all morning. It's a good sauce and the one I started with before I started spicing it up. Occaisionally I added her meatballs to this recipe, they can be found here recipe #210730

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 pot

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium onion, diced
2 (32 ounce) canned tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) canned tomato sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in sauce pot, and saute the onion and garlic.
  • Add remaining ingredients except the grated cheese and bring to a boil.

  • NOTE: For a thicker sauce, stir in the 1/4 cup grated cheese and simmer 5 minutes more. Actually -- I think it even tastes better.
