San Marzano Tomato Sauce

• porties: 10 servings
• actieve tijd: 5 minutes
• totale tijd: 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingrediënten

8 garlic cloves, (minced)

3-4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4-5 28oz cans San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes (with juices)

2-3 Tablespoon amore sun-dried tomato paste (or use regular tomato paste)

1/2 teaspoons (each) salt & black pepper

3 Tablespoons fresh basil (for dried basil - 1 Tbsp)

2 teaspoons fresh oregano (*optional)

Instructies

Cook garlic: In a large stainless steel pot on LOW-MEDIUM heat sauté garlic in olive oil for 30-60 seconds. Stir constantly to keep garlic from burning.

Add tomatoes and simmer: pour canned tomatoes with juices in with the garlic. Add tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix ingredients together, partially cover with lid - but not completely, and simmer on LOW heat for 3+ hours. Stir every so often to avoid burning. Note: if using a parmesan rind, add it in this step and let it simmer with sauce until finished. Remove and discard rind when ready to serve.

For smooth sauce: when sauce is finished cooking, use a hand immersion-blender to puree. Note: If you prefer a chunkier/thicker sauce (like I do), you can skip this step as the San Marzanos naturally break down while cooking.

Add herbs: when sauce is finished, mix in chopped fresh herbs. Season with additional salt & black pepper if needed and serve!
