Introduction
I prefer to leave this sauce chunky, but for a smooth sauce, simply process it for a few seconds in a food processor.
Ingredients
| 1 | cup (8 ounces) peeled, seeded, and chopped ripe tomatoes (including their juice), or canned crushed tomatoes (including their juice) |
| 1 | Tbsp. olive oil |
| 1 | large garlic clove, chopped |
| ¼ | tsp. hot pepper flakes |
| 2 | tsp. chopped fresh oregano or ½ teaspoon dried oregano |
| ¼ | tsp. sugar |
| ¼ | tsp. salt |
| ~ | Freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
Steps
- In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced to about ¾ cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Taste for seasoning, and cool.
