Ingredients
- 84 ounces 28 oz+ cans of Whole Plum tomatoes
- 4-6 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 small onion chopped
- 4 TBSP of olive oil enough to cover the bottom of the pot.
- 2-3 TBSP of dried basil
- 1 tsp of oregano
- 1 tsp of sugar
- pepper to paste
Instructions
- Pour olive oil in a large pot.
- Add minced garlic and chopped onion in pot and saute until translucent and soft. Do not brown!! This is very important.
- Place tomatoes in a blender or food processor and blend about 5-10 seconds until smooth and pureed.
- Add in dry ingredients
- Bring sauce to a slow boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for a minimum of an 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes so not to burn the bottom. I prefer to simmer for about 3 hours but it is still yummy if you cook it at the minimum.
