- 1 can of whole tomatoes in tomato juice. No other flavors. This is important as it'll change the flavor of the sauce in the end.
- Garlic cloves
- Basil leaves (fresh or dried)
- Oregano leaves (fresh or dried)
- Salt
- Rosemary
- Cilantro
- Cooked ground meat
In a sauce pan, heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the peeled garlic cloves and let them brown. (The smell is delicious!)
Add the tomatoes. I use Hunt's whole tomatoes for this recipe. Add salt, basil and oregano leaves to taste. Let it boil on medium heat for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, and use a blender to puree your sauce. I use my handy-dandy handheld blender, which makes this step a breeze. Be very careful, as the sauce if very hot!

Return sauce to the stove and let it boil for 5 minutes. At this point you can add ground meat or what I usually do, homemade meatballs. Yummy!
I usually buy a big can of Hunt's Whole tomatoes at Costco and make a big batch of sauce. When I do this, I use the whole garlic bulb, cloves peeled, of course. Then I place it in freezer bags or freezer safe bowls, and freeze for a quick meal on busy days.
This sauce is delicious, thick and so easy to make!
Thanks for visiting!
