1
Prepare the Ingredients
Chop the garlic and fresh basil. Set aside.
2
Cook the Garlic
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Do not let it brown.
3
Add Tomatoes
Add the plum tomatoes (crushed by hand or pureed) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
4
Season the Sauce
Add the Sicilian oregano and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Simmer
Let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
6
Add Basil
Stir in the fresh basil leaves during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and serve the marinara sauce over your favorite pasta or use it for pizza.
