Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.44
  • 1 clove garlic, minced $0.04
  • 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes $1.67
  • 1 6 oz. can tomato paste $0.94
  • 1/2 Tbsp sugar $0.01
  • 3/4 tsp salt $0.03
  • 1 tsp dried basil $0.10
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano $0.05
  • freshly cracked black pepper $0.08
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper (optional) $0.05

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the olive oil and garlic to a sauce pot and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
  2. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, basil, oregano, some freshly cracked pepper (10-15 cranks of a pepper mill), and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover the pot, allow the pot to come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 15 minutes minimum, or up to 30 minutes (I often let it simmer as I prepare my pizza dough).

Notes

  • To freeze this sauce, first cool it completely in the refrigerator, then transfer to quart-sized freezer bags or freezer-safe resealable containers and freeze until solid. Simply reheat over low heat in a sauce pot, with a lid to minimize evaporation, and stir often, until heated through.
