Homemade Tomato Sauce
Equipment
- Large stock pot
- Knife
- Cutting board

Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 6 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
- 4 28 oz. cans of crushed tomatoes

- Handful parsley with stems
Instructions
- Warm stock pot on medium heat until warm. Add oil.
- Once oil is warm, add chopped onion and garlic. Stir to coat.
