This tomato sauce is super easy and quick to prepare. It tastes great as a base for pizza or pasta, or simply served with some crusty bread.

Here’s what you need to make Easy Tomato Sauce:

Olive oil
Clove of garlic
Can of peeled plum tomatoes
Dried oregano
Granulated sugar and salt
Fresh basil

This recipe makes about 1 cup of sauce (which is enough for about 2 small pizzas), but you can double or triple it if you’re cooking for more people. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled
400 g (1 can) peeled plum tomatoes
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp granulated sugar
3/4 tsp salt
6 leaves fresh basil

Directions

Slightly heat olive oil in a medium-sized pot, add whole clove of garlic and fry for about 15 seconds over medium-low heat until aroma releases.
Add peeled tomatoes from the can, oregano, sugar, salt and combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
Add fresh basil and remove from the heat.
Blend sauce using a hand blender or in the food processor until smooth.
Spread over the pizza crust or serve with your favourite pasta. Enjoy!

Notes

I recommend to prepare tomato sauce in a large- or medium-sized pot as it’s bubbling strongly.
You can keep tomato sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week or frozen up to 6 months.
