Image Step 01
01 Step

Recipe View In a large skillet or Dutch oven, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, minced garlic, sugar, red wine vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Image Step 03
03 Step

Recipe View Simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for an even deeper, more complex flavor. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning, especially during the later stages of simmering. (Simmering time: 30-120 minutes)

For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to lightly puree after simmering.
To add depth, brown 1/2 pound of Italian sausage or ground beef in the skillet before adding the other ingredients. Remove the browned meat and set aside, then add it back to the sauce during the simmering process.
A bay leaf added during simmering will impart a subtle, savory note. Remember to remove it before serving.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A pinch of salt and black pepper can enhance the flavors.
Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.

    I was skeptical about the sugar, but it really balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!
