Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) of crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, to taste)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring well to combine the garlic and oil with the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle in the dried oregano and basil, and stir to mix everything together.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter sauce, add the sugar, adjusting to your taste. Remember, the sugar helps to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes on low heat. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
