Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 28 ounce whole peeled tomatoes (1 whole can)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion (peeled and halved)
  • 3 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)

Instruction

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes (includes juices), onion halves, garlic cloves, olive oil, oregano and red pepper flakes.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally using a wooden spoon to crush the tomatoes against the bottom of the pot.
  • Remove the pot from heat and discard the onion. Transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor or an immersion blender and smooth it out to your liking.
  • Stir in the chopped basil and adjust seasoning, with salt and pepper as necessary.
