I wanted to try making this from scratch. I used this recipe and it turned out great! So good on vegetarian meatballs and burgers. I had a lot left over that I put in some jars in the fridge.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion finely diced
1/3 cup carrot shredded

28 oz crushed tomatoes canned
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1-2 teaspoons sugar (optional)

Add whole tomatoes (with juice) and gently break apart with the spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Simmer uncovered on low heat for 20 minutes or until sauce reaches desired consistency.
Serve over spaghetti or enjoy in your favorite recipes. Freeze or refrigerate to store.
