Simple Chunky Pizza Sauce

By avpeters

Ingredients

• This makes enough sauce for 1 12-inch pizza.
• • 1 tbsp olive oil
• • 1/2 onion, diced small
• • 1 clove garlic, minced
• • 1 15-oz can whole tomatoes
• • 1 sprig fresh oregano
• • 1/2 tsp sugar
• • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• • 1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a 1-1/2 qt sauce pan. Cook the onion and garlic until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir as necessary. Add tomatoes, crushing lightly with your hands as you add them. Be sure to add the juice, too. Strip the leaves of oregano from the stem and then chop roughly. Add the oregano and the sugar. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20-30 minutes, until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste.
