Instructions

  1. In a medium pot or dutch oven, heat oil until shimmering.
  2. Sauté onion until translucent. Add the herbs and salt and cook a minute or two longer.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and water. I just fill the empty tomato paste can up with water.
  4. Add the sugar and half and half and stir it into the sauce.
  5. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

  • In the recipe I use canned crushed tomatoes, you can use plain tomato sauce or homemade crushed tomatoes.
