Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Medium onion, finely chopped
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned, no sugar added)

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine.

Step 4

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly throughout the sauce.

Bring the sauce to a light simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
