Di Capua Family Marinara Sauce

1 large can whole peeled tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 large can crushed tomatoes, puree works
3-4 finely chopped cloves garlic
1 chopped onion
2-3 turns EVOO
basil and oregano to taste
1 bay leaf

Using either a food processor or blender blend the whole peeled tomatoes til they're nice and smooth, set aside. In a large pot, saute the garlic and onion in the EVOO til onions are clear, do not brown. Bring to a boil the blended whole tomatoes, paste, and puree, bay leaf, adding the basil and oregano to your liking. Lower the temperature to med/low to simmer. Let simmer for 3-4 hours. Add to any favorite Italian dish or some pasta!

Best love and dishes!
