Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the Tomatoes

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, including their juices. Stir well to combine with the sautéed onions and garlic.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the sauce. Stir to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.

  5. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sugar as needed.
