Give it a good mix and sauté on a medium heat untill your onions are nice and golden, this will not take long keep an eye on it, so not to burn your onions.
When you get a beautiful golden colour on your onions, you can then add the salt, carrots, celery, bay leaves, sundried tomato purée, your jarted tomato purée and water.
Bring your sauce to a boil, as soon as you reach your boil point, lower your heat to low. Add some Parsley pesto, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. ( depending on how thick you want your sauce reduced )
When your sauce is finished and ready add the rest of your parsley pesto and basil pesto. Check to see if you are satisfied with your salt and pepper, add if you need more. And enjoy!
