  • Bring the sauce to a low-boil then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to cook for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove the lid, carefully remove the bay leaf, and allow the sauce to cool for about 10 minutes. If using basil, add it here.
  • Add sauce to the blender, blend until smooth, and pour into a heat-safe bowl.
  • Stir sauce into pasta, layer into lasagna, or serve as a dipping sauce! It’s a perfect versatile sauce. Enjoy!
