Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 28 ounces Canned whole San Marzano tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the canned San Marzano tomatoes with their juices to the pan. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break the tomatoes into small chunks.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add 1/4 cup of water to the sauce to adjust the consistency, and stir well.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and use an immersion blender (or transfer the sauce to a blender) to puree it into a smooth consistency, if desired. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Let the sauce cool to room temperature before using it on your pizza. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
