The Simplest Tomato Sauce

Have you ever heard of the motto, less is more.  This recipe is a great example of this.  In our house we rarely buy a jar of tomato sauce, we make our own!  During the summer I will use my fresh tomatoes from the garden but for the rest of the year I use the Italian canned tomatoes.
 Feel free to add other ingredients or remove ingredients.  The great thing about this sauce is you can add or subtract whatever you or your family likes!!  Enjoy.

2 cans of Italian diced Tomatoes (I puree them in my food processor)
1 tsp fresh garlic
1 Tbsp fresh basil (optional)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic salt
6 Tbsp butter

Bring tomatoes, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning and garlic salt to a boil.  Add butter and stir until melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the desired thickness, I do mine for about 5-10 minutes.  Serve over pasta, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and enjoy.
