Directions:
Fry peppers in olive oil on high until softened. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Add 60% of chopped garlic and all of chopped onions to 2 tbsp. of olive oil and cook on high until they begin to caramelize (do not over cook). In a large pot, crush the whole tomatoes by hand and add the rest of the ingredients (including onions and peppers) and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour to thicken. Stir occasionally.

Our family loves this sauce on pasta! Also great to smother a chicken breast and sprinkle some fresh Parmesan on the top!
