Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- This tomato sauce will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3
days and in the freezer for up 3 months. Pull the sauce
from the freezer the day before you’d like to use it to allow it to thaw fully
before reheating on the stove.
