Marinara Sauce (With Or Without Meat)

• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 3 -4 minced garlic cloves (I use the jarred kind)
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 cups water
• 3 teaspoons dried parsley
• 3 teaspoons italian seasoning
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 lb ground beef (optional) or 1 lb ground turkey (optional)

1. In a medium saucepan, brown onion & garlic over medium heat. If using meat, brown with the onion & garlic-drain well.
2. Add rest of ingredients on medicum-low heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover & simmer 15-20 minutes. Stir sauce every 5 minutes.
3. Serve over pasta, or use in other dishes.
4. I believe this makes about 4 cups-but it's a guess!
