Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 oz Canned whole peeled tomatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour the canned whole peeled tomatoes into the pan, crushing them gently with a wooden spoon or your hands to break them into smaller pieces.
Add the salt and stir well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes taste too acidic.
Serve immediately over your favorite cooked pasta or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
