Ingredients
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 large carrot (diced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- (2) ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons fresh basil (chopped or 2 teaspoons dried basil)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional, if you like a little spice)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add oil and then add onion and carrot. Saute for 8-10 minutes or until softened. Add in garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes longer. Remove from heat if not adding tomatoes right away to make sure garlic doesn't burn.
- Puree tomatoes in a blender. Add to the onion carrot mixture. Stir in tomato paste, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and sugar.
- Reduce heat to a medium-low and let simmer for at least 20-30 minutes. If time permits, let simmer on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve with fresh pasta.
