Pasta and sauce - what could be better on the day after Thanksgiving? This
simple recipe solved two problems for us: a simple meal and an excuse for
defrosting some italian bread (for
caesar salad
tomorrow night).

Ingredients
- 32 ounces Tomato Sauce
- 6 ounces Tomato Paste
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 1 teaspoon oil
- sprinkle hot pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon basil flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
- salt & pepper
Instructions
We put our dutch oven on the stove, but do not turn on the heat. We put the olive oil and the garlic cloves and turn on medium heat. We saute the garlic until fragrant.
We add the remaining ingredients and, over medium heat, bring to a simmer. We reduce the heat and continue to simmer, partially covered. While the sauce is simmering, we adjust the spices to taste.
Before serving, we remove the garlic cloves.
