For a richer flavor, roast the tomatoes in the oven before blending. This will intensify their sweetness. Adjust the seasoning to your taste. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick. This sauce freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months.

Follow The Directions
01
StepScore the base of each tomato with an 'X'. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepBring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Briefly immerse the tomatoes in the boiling water until the skins begin to loosen, about 30 seconds. (Cook time: 30 seconds)
03
StepTransfer the tomatoes immediately to the ice bath for 1-2 minutes to halt cooking. (Cooling time: 1-2 minutes)
04
StepRemove the tomatoes from the ice water and peel off the skins. Discard the skins. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepPlace the peeled tomatoes in a blender and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepSimmer the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to your desired consistency, typically 60-90 minutes. The sauce should thicken and the flavors meld beautifully. (Cook time: 60-90 minutes)
07
StepFor a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to puree it directly in the saucepan. Alternatively, let cool slightly and blend in a regular blender. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
08
StepUse immediately for the best flavor, or store in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the flavors to deepen and intensify.
