Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 onion white, chopped into 4 pieces
  • 12 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, drizzle about 2 tbsp Olive oil, add 3 cloves garlic, 28 oz roma tomatoes (which is 8-10 tomatoes) and 1/2 white onion chopped into 4 pieces. Turn the burner onto medium, cover and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until all ingredients are cooked through. Then turn burner off. Add 4 tbsp fresh basil (about 12 leaves), 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp ground pepper. If you have a non-stick pot like I do, you will want to use your pan guard on the blender arm, to protect your cookware from scratches. Attach pan guard to blender arm, then use hand blender to puree the ingredients in the pot. Watch the video for specific instructions on how to use.
    Now we add 1 bay leaf, stir it in, turn the burner back on to medium low, cover, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Add any additional salt or pepper to taste.

Notes

Store in an airtight container, refrigerated and it should last up to 5 days. I recommend a 28-32 oz mason jar. The full contents will be 28-32 oz so that should be perfect.
To freeze, I recommend storing in freezer safe ziplock storage bags. Freeze them laying flat in the freezer on a baking sheet, then when frozen, they will stack perfectly. I recommend using a few quart sized ziplock bags, as this allows for making smaller quantities at a time. When ready to eat, move the freezer bag into a dish and put in the refrigerator to thaw. Then re-heat in a saucepan on the stovetop.
