Ingredients:
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to blend it until smooth.
- Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency and flavor, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before using it as a delicious topping for your homemade pizzas!
