Freezer Friday ( Spaghetti Sauce)

 I am still working on tomatoes. I have more to make tomorrow. I have moved on from the diced tomatoes to spaghetti sauce. It tastes so much better than the jar stuff and is so simple to make. I can't wait to pull it out this winter and have a little taste of summer in my food!
 
Homemade spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:
* 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* 1 large onion, finely chopped
* 3/4 cup celery, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 16-ounce can tomato sauce
* 4 cups fresh tomatoes, diced
* 1 tablespoon oregano
* 1/2 tablespoon basil
* 1 tablespoon parsley
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 6-ounce can tomato paste
* 1 medium carrot, grated

Directions:
1. In a large pot, saute garlic, onion and celery over medium heat.

2. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for three hours. Serve over pasta.

This sauce can also be cooled and frozen in freezer bags.
