Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent-about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavour.
  3. I like my sauce a little spicier, so I add a few red pepper flakes.
