Homemade Sauces Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

3. 3

   Season the Sauce

   Add the chopped basil, salt, black pepper, sugar, and red wine vinegar to the saucepan. Stir to combine all ingredients.

4. 4

   Simmer the Sauce

   Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your liking.

5. 5

   Cool and Store

   Once the sauce is done simmering, remove it from heat and let it cool. Transfer to a quart-sized container and refrigerate or freeze for future use.
