Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 cup onion yellow, diced
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 28 oz whole peeled tomatoes canned
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper crushed
- 1 sprig basil
Instructions
- Start by slicing, or dicing, your onion. Add good quality extra virgin olive oil to a large pan over medium heat.
- When the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes.(see notes).
- Gently crush the garlic, add it to the pan and cook briefly until fragrant. (see notes).
- Then, add the canned tomatoes. Gently break up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon and stir occasionally as the sauce cooks 20 to 25 minutes on low heat.
- Right after turning off the heat, add a little salt and pepper, and the fresh basil, and stir to combine.
Notes
- Cooking onion on low and covered will aid the sweating process. The result is a sweeter taste that will not overpower the tomatoes.
- Remove the garlic after 2-3 minutes, it as it can get bitter after over cooking.
