The Greek version of Napolitan Sauce. Not only is this easy to prepare but it also makes a nice change even for those who like meat.

Ingredients


1 cup olive oil	1 tsp. dry thyme
1 chopped onion	1 tsp. dry oregano
1 clove mashed garlic	1/2 tsp. sugar
3 cups chopped tomatoes	salt and pepper
1 cup vegetable broth	cinnamon stick – optional
1 bayleaf	1 lb. cooked pasta of your choice

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Sautι the onions and garlic until translucent. Pour in the tomatoes and broth and once it comes to a boil, lower the heat. Add your spices and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick.

That’s it. Simple and quick. Pour the sauce over your favorite pasta and you have a wonderful meatless dish.

Susie’s Note: I don’t use the cinnamon in this as I think it gives it too much of a sweet taste. I prefer a spicier version so I add the spices liberally as well a bit of dry hot peppers. To each his own.
