Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Medium onion, finely chopped
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned, no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no sugar added)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly throughout the sauce.
Bring the sauce to a light simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves for a burst of vibrant flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to three months.
