I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of

Everyday Tomato Sauce

Makes about 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • One 28-oz can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes - hey, if you like it hot - make it hot
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste - and don’t be shy about the salt for sure
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat and add onion - cook about 5 minutes
  2. Add garlic and cook another minute or so - just until fragrant
  3. Add tomatoes, squishing each one with your hand to break it up as you add it - if using your hand is an issue break them up with a spoon but hey this is cooking so deal with it junior
  4. Next put in tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, red pepper, sugar and oregano
  5. Stir really well, combining everything
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste
  7. Bring sauce to a boil, then turn down heat and let simmer about 30 minutes
  8. Kill the heat, chop or tear leaves into smaller pieces and stir into the sauce
  9. Serve on everything - pasta (of course) eggs, polenta, pizza, grilled bread, chicken...did I say everything?
