3. Add garlic to sauce pan and sauté 30 seconds.

4. Add the remainder of the ingredients, chicken broth, tomato paste, and crushed tomato.

5. Simmer sauce for 10-15 minutes.

8. Spoon sauce over pasta and serve hot.

*This is a quick meat sauce that I almost always have all the ingredients in my pantry and refrigerator.  It tastes better than canned sauces.  Freeze any leftover sauce for later since this makes a good amount.  Or it is a quick meal the whole family will enjoy without feeling like they are missing out.

**If you have the fresh herbs on hand definitely use them.  When I have basil I always throw that in too.  There are also new herbs that come in tubes in the produce section of your grocery stores.  They are to be kept in the refrigerator.  They taste better than the dried herbs and last longer than the fresh herbs.
