Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    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 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add the Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned whole tomatoes (including juice) into the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes apart into smaller pieces.

  3. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using) to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together and the sauce to thicken.

  5. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Add red pepper flakes for heat or fresh basil for a brighter flavor, if desired.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency and flavor, remove it from heat. Serve over your favorite pasta, or use as a base for pizza or other dishes.
