Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small carrot, grated
• 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons unsalted tomato paste
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes, no salt added
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped celery. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the unsalted tomato paste to the pan, stirring to coat the vegetables, and cook for 1 minute to develop the flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and 1 cup of water, stirring well to combine the ingredients.

Step 6

Add dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well.

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 8

Cover the saucepan with a lid slightly ajar and let the sauce simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Adjust seasonings to taste. If desired, stir in fresh parsley just before serving for added freshness.

Step 10

Serve the sauce hot with your favorite pasta or dish, or allow it to cool and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
