How to Make Quick Tomato Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) of crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be!
- Carefully pour the sauce into a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or use as a base for pizza or other dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
