1
Prepare the Sauce
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2
Add Tomatoes
Add the San Marzano tomatoes to the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to break them up into smaller pieces.
3
Season the Sauce
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and sugar. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Add Fresh Basil
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the fresh basil leaves and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and serve over cooked spaghetti, garnishing with extra basil if desired.
