Ziti Pasta With Spicy Marinara Primavera Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (29 oz.) cans whole tomatoes
1 tsp. minced garlic (from a jar)
oregano (to taste)
basil (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste)
parsley (to taste)
2 cans artichoke hearts, quartered
2 jars mushrooms, or fresh equivalent, halved
16 oz. jar Old El Paso Homestyle salsa (medium or to taste)
1 small onion, sliced
1 can black and/or green olives
1 red and 1 yellow pepper, sliced
1 lb. bag ziti pasta noodles

Preparation

In a large saucepan over medium heat, add tomatoes and break them up into smaller pieces.
Add jar of salsa, garlic, onion and spices.
After about 10 minutes, turn down heat to low and add rest of ingredients (except for peppers and noodles).
Allow to simmer on very low heat (covered) for about one to two hours, stirring often, so that spices and flavors may blend.
Add peppers about 20 minutes before removing sauce from heat.
Cook noodles in boiling water and drain.
Combine noodles and sauce; serve. Serves six (or four, if they are really hungry!).
