Ingredients

Scale

2025  tomatoes {I used Roma tomatoes}
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, sliced
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped
1 dried bay leaf
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons Mc Cormick Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions

Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large stockpot.  Boil tomatoes for 30 seconds or until skin splits.

Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon and plunge them into bowl of ice water to cool.  Peel skins.  Chop tomatoes and set them aside.

Over medium heat, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until caramelized.

Toss everything into a crock pot and turn it to high.  Cook 6-8 hours.  Once the sauce has cooled slightly, remove the bay leaf and discard it. Pulse the tomato mixture in a blender or Vitamix and pour over warm pasta.

Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese and serve with a nice hunk of bread.
