First ever homemade pasta sauce!

Zero thought went into this recipe, which was made on a whim, but it will be my new replacement for HFCS loaded cans and $5.00 jars...

1 28 oz. Can Rega Chopped Tomatoes (They sell these at the Dekalb Farmer's Market. Ingredients: Tomatoes, tomato juice, salt). I actually used half a can because that's what I had, but since it's so good, whole can next time

1/2 cup of V8 to make it a bit more saucy. I use the spicy kind

2-3 cloves garlic. Increase if you're a garlic lover.

10-20 leaves of fresh basil chopped into itty bitty pieces. I picked small leaves off the plant.

Cayenne pepper to taste.

Garlic salt to taste.

Saute tomatoes, juice, garlic and basil on low/medium low for an hour or so. When it's warm stir in the garlic salt to taste. Add a tsp or so of cayenne, more if you want a kick.

Olive oil is a good addition, but not necessary if you want to keep the calories down. I cooked some EVOO into the vegetables and chicken I ate it with, but left it out of the sauce itself...
