Metzger's Spaghetti Sauce

Metzgermeister's Note:

I decided to make my own sauce because all the sauces I got in the store and at resturats was too watery and didn't have much flavor. I got the idea for making the sauce from a movie called "Goodfellas". And it turned out great.

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6-8

Yield: 1.0 large pot

• 2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (I use organic fire roasted tomatoes)
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste

• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon basil
• 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
• 2 large bay leaves
• 1 medium onion , diced (optional)
