Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
Instructions
In a skillet, heat the butter or olive oil. Add the onion, green pepper, and bay leaf, and saute until the onion is translucent and limp, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the tomato paste and parsley, breaking the tomatoes into small pieces as you add them. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the tomato paste, if using, and stir well. Cook 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Serve over the meat loaf.
