My grandma use to make this sauce all the time and freeze the left over for quick easy meals during the week. Sometimes I get crazy and add black olives, green pepper, red pepper and sun dried tomatoes for a chunky sauce.

Steps

1

Chop the tomatoes into chunks and put into a large pot or crock pot
2

Pour the tomato sauce in with the tomatoes and put on medium heat
3

While that's heating up, lightly brown the garlic and onion with some red pepper flakes in a frying pan with the olive oil.
4

Once they are soft and lightly browned add to the tomatoes
5

Add the Italian seasoning, basil, and salt to taste. Tip: because the Italian seasoning is dried you will need a lot. I use probably 2-4 tablespoons. If you use dried basil add extra.
6

Stir and cover. Let simmer on LOW heat for 2-3 hours. Or until the sauce is bubbly and the tomatoes are soft
7

Take the cover off and turn the heat up to medium low heat. Let simmer until the sauce thickens to your preference.

Add to spaghetti pasta, homemade lasagna, goolash or whatever you want! I like to add Italian sausage and use it in lasagna
