How to Make Rocky's Red Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Stir in 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato puree, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, use as a pizza sauce, or freeze for later in freezer-safe bags or containers.
