Simple Tomato Sauce
 
 
A good classic tomato sauce doesn't get more simple - or more like grandma used to make - than this!
Yield: 5 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes
  • fine sea salt
  • 5 large basil leaves, shredded
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, along with the garlic. Press down on the garlic a bit with a spoon to release some of its flavor. Cook until garlic begins to sizzle, but doesn't brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the tomatoes, along with their juice and stir to combine with the oil. Season with 1 tsp salt. Bring o a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Season with salt to taste. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
