Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 28 ounces Canned whole San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the canned San Marzano tomatoes with their juices to the pan. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break the tomatoes into small chunks.
Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the sauce to adjust the consistency, and stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from heat and use an immersion blender (or transfer the sauce to a blender) to puree it into a smooth consistency, if desired. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature before using it on your pizza. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
