Spaghetti Sauce


This is a semi-home-made spaghetti sauce that I came up with...definitely not "Olive Garden Quality" but I like it way better than the stuff straight out of a jar.

1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce (I used Great Value Traditional and blended it)
1 28 oz. can of Crushed Tomatoes
2-3 Tb Fresh Italian Parsley (Chopped)
1/2 c. Fresh Onion (Chopped)
2-3 cloves Fresh Garlic (Minced)
3-4 Tb (ish) Sugar (Just enough to help it not be too acidic)
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsp Basil
1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Mix it all together and let simmer for as long as you want (I let it simmer for 30-60 min...but I'm sure it would turn out fine with a shorter or longer simmering time).
