This is also a wonderful sauce for hearty pasta dishes.
Ingredients

Step 1
Using fingers, split open tomatoes; remove and discard seeds. Chop tomatoes; reserve juice. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped tomatoes and reserved juice and all remaining ingredients; stir to combine. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until sauce is reduced to 4 cups, stirring often, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Remove bay leaf and any stems from herbs. Pass sauce through food mill fitted with large holes. Alternately, transfer to processor. Using on/off turns, process to coarse puree.

This is a great all around sauce recipe. I used it to make baked ziti as well as the cassoulet. It is wonderful!

I enjoyed this sauce very much. I subbed dried basil and anchovy paste, but otherwise made as directed. It was great with the cassoulet recipe, but would also be terrific for pasta and other uses.
