Ingredients for Simple Homemade Tomato Sauce
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (32-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon Tomato Sauce Blend
Salt, to taste, if needed
Fresh basil, optional
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and Tomato Sauce Blend. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer uncovered for 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Finish with fresh basil, if desired.
For a larger batch: Use 1 tablespoon Tomato Sauce Blend for every 32 ounces of crushed tomatoes.
Enjoy!
