Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large white onion, minced
  • 5 cloves garlic, crushed
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  1. Heat a large pot on the stove over medium high heat. Add in olive oil and saute onion in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add in 5 cloves and saute another 30-60 seconds.
  2. Pour in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, fennel, oregano, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-4 hours. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until the desired consistency is achieved, leaving it slightly chunky, or making it completely smooth.
