Easy Tomato Sauce
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, drained, tomatoes chopped
3 tsps tomato paste
1 tsp dried oregano
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

My notes: I've been looking for a good tomato sauce recipe. I thought this one looked pretty decent and it had simple ingredients which I liked. At first I tried to break the tomatoes up by hand (like anothe recipe suggested), but got "shot" with seeds and juice so I decided to use a knife after that! After the sauce reduced it was still to chunky for both of our taste so I used the trusty hand blender to puree everything once the sauce had cooled. I'd definitely make it again. I think I might strain is a bit to get rid of some of the seeds, there were an awful lot of them.
