Pantry Spaghetti Sauce

Ok, this was made in a flash from canned tomatoes, onions, garlic, and so forth.  The kids devoured it, not to mention the dog.  Wait, maybe that's not the best endorsement.  But he is a very picky dog.  Whatever, it was great.

Pantry Spagh Sauce

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 28-ounce can pureed tomatoes
5 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.  Saute onion until translucent.  Add basil and oregano, plus some salt and pepper (about 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper seemed to work well).  Saute until the onion is tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Add tomatoes, breaking up the whole ones with your fingers or a wooden spoon.   Simmer, covered, over  low heat for about 30 minutes until thickened.  Taste to adjust salt and pepper and serve over pasta, topped with shaved/grated/shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese.  We also had a fruit salad and fresh bread (yet again from New Seasons) and it was a perfect supper for the chilly fall night.
