1
Sauté the Garlic
In a medium saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
2
Add Tomatoes
Pour in the canned whole tomatoes (including the juice) into the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes into smaller pieces.
3
Season the Sauce
Stir in the dried oregano, salt, and let the mixture come to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Finish with Fresh Basil
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from heat. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and let the flavors meld for a few minutes before serving.
