Description
Easy tomato sauce (Affiliate Link) recipe like my mom made.
Ingredients
- 4 14.5 oz diced tomato cans
- 2 cloves of garlic - chopped
- 2 tbsp - olive oil (Affiliate Link)
- 1/2 tsp - red pepper flakes
- 4 Tbsp - dried or fresh Parsley
- 2 tsp dried or fresh basil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add olive oil (Affiliate Link) to the warm saucepan (5 quarts). Then, add garlic and red pepper flakes—Cook for 1 minute.
- Then slowly add diced tomatoes to the saucepan - lower the temperature, so it doesn't splatter too much.
- Now, add parsley, basil, salt, and pepper and stir well.
- Using the emulsion blender, plug it in and submerge it into the tomatoes to breakdown the diced tomatoes. It will help with mixing the herbs as well.
- Bring to boil and lower heat to low. Angle the wooden spoon on the edge of the top rim. Then add the lid to prop the lid open a little. This will help the water evaporate and help keep your counter and range free from the tomato sauce (Affiliate Link) boiling mess. Then, cook for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove lid and let sit for 10 minutes. The excess water will evaporate.
- Add to your favorite cooked pasta.
