Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a medium size pot over medium- high heat.

- Add garlic and saute another minute.
- Add tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce,marinara sauce if using, oregano, basil, bay leaves, thyme,
- herb de provence and pink salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Simmer on low heat for 2 hours or longer if you like, Just make sure you keep a close eye on it.
- Serve over pasta with grated Parmesan cheese
- If you like you can freeze this into smaller portion sizes.
- Optional: If you like this can be done in slow cooker cook on high about 4 hours or low for about 8 hours
- I like to start mine on the stove top for the flavor to blend. After about 1 hour and tasting to make sure that I don't want to add more spices I'll move it to my instant pot and use the slow cooker setting for 6 to 8 hours. I like that when the time is up it turns to the warm setting or me.
