Categories     Sauces

Time 25m

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons basil, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Add garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Cook until onion is translucent (about 2 - 3 minutes).
  • Add tomato sauce, water, and sugar.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a thicker flesh.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the sauce. Basil, oregano, and thyme are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be simmered gently for about 30 minutes, or until it has thickened. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor.
  • Season to taste: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

Conclusion:

This fresh herb tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a dipping sauce. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious homemade sauce that will impress your family and friends.
