VEGETABLE TOMATO SAUCE
Makes 3 cups
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 zucchini or yellow squash, chopped

1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
2 (28-ounce) cans chopped tomatoes with juices
Salt to taste
Directions
1. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until light golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes.
2. Add all remaining ingredients except tomatoes; cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
