Marinara Sauce

Yum,  homemade marinara sauce!  Quick and easy to make!  I used Del Monte Petite Cut Diced Tomatoes with no added salt.
Not sour or to sweet, perfect to add to ravioli or pasta.






2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 to 1 small onion, chopped
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh basil (fresh from my window box)
1 teaspoon salt
1  14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1  6 oz can tomato paste

• In a 2 quart sauce pan, over medium-low heat, cook onion and garlic in oil until tender
• Stir in sugar, basil, salt, tomatoes in their liquid and tomato paste.  Heat until boiling
• Reduce heat to low, cover saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes, breaking up tomatoes and stirring occasionally.
