My family really enjoys spaghetti night and anyone who knows Italian food understands that the tomato sauce is what makes the dish. This homemade spaghetti sauce recipe is great to use for just about any pasta dish, such as baked ziti, lasagna and even as a pizza sauce. Double this recipe and make plenty so that you can freeze and thaw the rest on another night for a super easy dinner. This recipe is best made with fresh ingredients, but it’s perfectly fine to use dried spices.

29 ounce can of tomatoes (I like Tuttoroso brand)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 of a small onion ( diced)
1/2 of a green pepper (diced)
3 garlic cloves ( grated)

1 tablespoon of oregano
