Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Tomatoes

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, ensuring to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan. This will add flavor to the sauce.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add the oregano, basil, sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped basil.
