Leesha's Homemade Marinara

1/2 white onion
1 medium size can diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1-2 small cans tomato paste
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tsp Dried Thyme
2-3 Fresh Tomatoes
1-2 tsp Dried Oregano
1 Green pepper
1-2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1-2 tsp Dried Rosemary

Sautee onion, green pepper and garlic in olive oil. Add seasonings to your onions after they have cooked half way through. You can add whatever combination of seasonings you desire, have fun and experiment with flavors. Add can of tomatoes and tomato paste to onions and garlic. Stir everything together and let it simmer. This mixture should probably simmer for 35-60 minutes. Cut fresh tomatoes into wedges and add to your sauce. Cover and continue to let simmer. If there is too much acidity, add a little water, or brown sugar to calm the flavors down. Sauce should not be too sweet. I serve this over fresh spaghetti squash or angel hair pasta
