Homemade Authentic Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 large can of whole tomatoes (we like the taste and quality of San Marzano tomatoes best)

  • 3-6 cloves of garlic, sliced

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 tsp red chili flakes (or more if you like it spicy!)

  • 1 tsp brown sugar

Directions

In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic and chilli, stir. Once the garlic just begins to turn golden, add the canned tomatoes (don’t drain the liquid). Stir and decrease the heat to medium low. Season with salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Cook down to your desired thickness.
