Let’s make it
- 01
Warm oil over medium-low heat and soften onion for 8 minutes. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
- 02
Add tomatoes and oregano. Simmer gently, partially covered, for 30 minutes; stir regularly.
- 03
Tear in basil and taste for salt. Blend carefully if a smooth sauce is preferred.
A little kitchen wisdom
Use a wide heavy pot for gentle reduction. If the sauce tastes sharp, simmer a little longer before adjusting seasoning.
Make it your own
Swap dried oregano for dried thyme, or use whole canned tomatoes crushed by hand. No added sugar is necessary.
Storage & leftovers
Store in a clean airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Use a clean spoon each time.
