sugar included

Would I post something that did not contain sugar? Probably not. After the sauce simmered for a while, it needed something. I added sugar!

July 4th Spaghetti Sauce

2 - 28 oz cans San Marzano whole tomatoes and juice (squish these with your hands)

2 teaspoons home made pesto (could have used more)

1 onion chopped and sauteed in 1/2 stick butter

1 large bay leaf

2 - 3 teaspoons kosher salt, to taste

1 teaspoon Penzeys Tellicherry Black Pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons Penzys California Sweet Basil

3 tablespoons sugar

Let simmer for 3-4 hours.
