Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine with the garlic and onion mixture.
Add salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and sugar. Stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, stir in the heavy cream until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Add the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted completely.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve the creamy tomato sauce over your favorite pasta or dish. Garnish with additional fresh basil or Parmesan cheese if desired.
