Zubereitung von Homemade Fresh Tomato Sauce
- Roughly chop 2 pounds ripe tomatoes.
- Finely chop 1 medium onion.
- Mince 4 cloves garlic.
- Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor.

- **Freezing Option:** Allow the sauce to cool completely. Pour into airtight freezer-safe containers, leaving 1 inch headspace. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- **Optional Meaty Sauce:** Brown 2.25 pounds of lean ground beef in a separate pan. Drain excess grease. Add to the tomato sauce and stir to combine.
