This is a lovely and very easy to make tomato sauce, the only thing you need is time. By cooking the vegetables slowly over low heat they produce the sweetness that goes so well with the tomatoes and the wine. Try to chop the ingredients as small as possible, but of course if you prefer bigger pieces than you do it that way.

1 big onion, finely chopped
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 big carrot finely cut to small cubes

3 bay leaves finely chopped
to the oven at 150 C for about 1 hour:
the fried vegetables
Two cans of eco tomatoes, whole and skinned.2 tsb of fresh Thyme
2 dl of red wine
Method
Chop the vegetables and fry on low temperature for 30 minutes. Add the tomatoes, the wine and the chopped thyme to the pot and put it in the oven at 150 C for about one hour. Break the tomatoes with a fork or put the sauce to a mixer for a smooth sauce. Put in a pot, cook for about 20 minutes at low temperature until it gets the texture that you want. Then you can use this sauce for many different dishes, for example to Bolognese or Pizza or where ever you need a tomato sauce and of course it is perfect to keep in the freezer, you can just double or triple the recipe and just fill the freezer.
