1
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2
Add Tomatoes
Pour in the canned whole tomatoes, including their juice. Use a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes up into smaller pieces while they simmer.
3
Season the Sauce
Stir in the chopped fresh basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
4
Simmer
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together and the sauce to thicken.
5
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to puree it to your desired consistency.
