Chunky Tomato Sauce

What's better than good pasta? Good pasta with fabulous fresh sauce of course!

What you need:
Seasonings! I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic salt. Fresh garlic is also encouraged but I rarely have it as my garlic cruncher thing sucks.
6 Tomatos (I use Romas, but any tomatos will be fine)
1 green pepper
2-3 handfulls of baby carrots
1/4 c olive oil

What to do:
Heat olive oil in a medium-large saucepan over medium heat. Add seasonings (about 1 t of each, but more 2-3 t of garlic). Begin chopping the green pepper into small bits. Add chopped green pepper to oil. Chop tomatos and add to oil. Chop carrots (you can use regular size carrots too obviously. I just never have those) and add to oil. Mix everything in the pan. Cover and let saute 30-40 minutes.
Serve over pasta or with bread.

Variations:
If you have cloves of garlic, chop those and add them! Yum!
Also you could add onions, squash, other peppers, etc. The variations are endless.

Enjoy!
