Gently sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil until onion is transluscent, stirring often. Add the tomatoes and crush by hand. Add the tomato paste, broth, herbs, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Simmer uncovered about two hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf. The sauce should be thick. Continue to cook if you would like it thicker.
Add browned meat of choice, pour over pasta, use in lasagna or chicken parmesan, or just eat it with a spoon!

Notes
The original recipe has the same herbs but they were all chopped. I don't have the patience for that these days, so I updated it for my current version. Still just as flavorful, but with half the work!
