Total Time 40

Servings Cups

Ingredients

1 (28 oz.) can San Marzano Tomatoes whole and peeled
2 Cloves Garlic minced
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
1 tsp Dried Oregano
½ tsp Sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
A few Fresh Basil Leaves torn to small pieces
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Pour the canned tomatoes into a large bowl. Using clean hands or a potato masher, crush the tomatoes to your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunkier sauce, while others like it smoother.
Add the minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, dried oregano, and sugar (if using) to the tomatoes. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Add the torn basil leaves and freshly ground black pepper to the sauce. Stir to incorporate.
Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together. This step is crucial for achieving that authentic taste. Before using the sauce, taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or olive oil as desired.

Notes

The sauce can be stored in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage.
