Tomato Sauce 101

Ingredients

• 1/3 c EVOO
• 3 onion, finely chopped
• 1 head of garlic - about 12-13 cloves, peeled and chopped
• 3 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes
• 2 tsp kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the copped onion. Season well with salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 5-10 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bring the tomatoes up to a slight boil, and then lower the temperature to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until flavors meld.
