Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

The taste of spaghetti sauce is something that no two people completely agree upon. Some prefer a sweet sauce, some go for a more acidic sauce with a kick. Some love a sauce heavy on basil and oregano, some want only the taste of tomato and garlic. My family prefers this homemade sauce that I made fresh seasonally and can for the winter.

Ingredients

4 large, very ripe, tomatoes

1 large, barely ripe, tomato

1 small red (purple) onion

1 small yellow onion

1 cup fresh cilantro

1 cup fresh basil (I prefer sweet basil)

1 cup fresh oregano (I prefer Greek oregano)

½ clove of garlic, cleaned

Salt to taste

Roughly chop all ingredients and simmer in a large sauce pot until the onions are translucent and soft. Allow to cool to room temperature, then pour into food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the pot and continue to simmer while your spaghetti noodles cook. You can add meat to the sauce at this point as well.

Pour over a bed of noodles and enjoy!

You can also serve in dishes as dipping sauce for bread sticks!
