Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Adding Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the canned whole tomatoes (including their juices), salt, sugar, dried basil, and dried oregano. Use a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Simmering the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning with black pepper and more salt if needed.

  4. 4

    Final Touch

    Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat. It can be served immediately or allowed to cool and stored in the refrigerator for later use.
