House Sauce

Method

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 1

    Step 1: Sauté Garlic

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

    Step 2: Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
