1
Chop the Vegetables
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Tomatoes
If using canned whole tomatoes, crush them by hand in a large bowl or use a blender for a smoother texture.

3
Sauté the Vegetables
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Add Tomatoes and Seasoning
Add the crushed tomatoes to the saucepan along with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.
5
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

6
Taste and Adjust
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
7
Cool and Store
Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to a pint-sized container for storage. This recipe makes approximately 16oz.
