Because tomato season will be here before we know it, I am getting prepared to get the most out of the garden.  I am also planning on canning a large quantity of pre-made spaghetti sauce so that it will be ready to go when I need it, though it is awfully quick and easy to make.  I don't always make it the same way, and these aren't really instructions as much as guideslines...

And by the way... I also use it for pizza sauce as well....

Spaghetti Sauce

2-3 tbsp butter or olive oil

1/2 cup onion, chopped

1/4 cup celery, chopped

1-3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 quart of tomatoes (I used the canned or frozen ones)

6 oz tomato paste

2 tsp basil

2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp honey or sugar

1/4 tsp pepper

Saute onion in oil until translucent, then add celery and garlic.  Continue to saute a few more minutes.  Add tomatoes, tomato paste and herbs/seasonings.  Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes or so.

I also add finely chopped mushrooms (so Jett won't notice them). 

I have used this sauce for so many things and it works so well.... Enjoy!
