Homemade spaghetti sauce

Matthew doesn't like spaghetti sauce. I find that insane. I LOVE spaghetti sauce.

So today I decided to make a home made sauce from scratch.

I fried a finely chopped onion and 6 cloves of garlic over a low heat for about 10 minutes before adding some salt, pepper and red chili flakes.

I then added 7 chopped tomatoes, 3 bay leafs, 3 sprigs of thyme and about 5 torn basil leaves.

 I allowed this mixture to boil gently uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

About 10 minutes before serving I added some more freshly torn basil

et voila! I served it with some fresh mozzarella over whole wheat pasta. I thought it was the best sauce I've had in a long time! I'm so excited that the recipe turned out this way. I am definitely going to make this again!!!

And here is Matt, who told me that he also thought it was the best sauce he's had..... but that's not really saying much is it Matt!!!

Don't forget to kiss your cook!!!
