Quick Tomato Sauce

My mother whipped this together one night and it was so good we will definitely make it again and put it on anything in need of a good tomato sauce.

Tomato Sauce
2 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes with basil
5 cloves garlic pressed
1 bay leaf
1 fresh rosemary branch
1/4 c chopped fresh basil
1/8 c chopped fresh oregano
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp sugar
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Saute garlic in a sauce pan on medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook on medium high heat until it starts to bubble then back off to medium low heat for about 30 minutes more. Remove the rosemary and bay leaf. Makes about 8 cups. Enjoy!

I was surprised at the depth of flavor and substance this sauce had after such a short time. Definitely a keeper.
