Pasta sauce
Ingredients:
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
10 tablespoons of dry herb mix
2 28 ounce cans of crushed tomatoes or 4 cups of fresh crushed tomatoes
salt
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spices to the pan and cook over medium until they start to release their flavor, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the crushed tomatoes and cook at low heat for at least 30 minutes. The sauce will reduce a bit. Add the salt a little as you go, tasting each time. Start with a few teaspoons.
Serve over your favorite pasta!
