Quick & Spicy Tomato Sauce (with turkey meatballs)

This is a very easy way to do tomato sauce and I liked the flavor from the fire roasted tomatoes

*1 TBSP. olive oil

*1/2 medium onion, chopped

*4 cloves garlic, minced

*3 TBSP. tomato paste

*1 (28 oz.) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes, liquid included (I pureed mine a bit)

*1 tsp. finely minced canned chipotle en adobo and sauce (leave out if you don't want the heat)

*2 tsp. finely chopped oregano leaves

*1 sprig fresh rosemary

*salt

*1/4 c. torn fresh basil leaves

In a 4-qt. saucepan heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add tomato paste, tomatoes, chipotles, oregano, rosemary, and salt. Bring all the ingredients to a low boil, reduce heat and cook for approximately 15 minutes, until liquid has evaporated slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove rosemary (add meatballs, cover and cook for 10 minutes) add basil just before serving.
