How to Make Tomato Sauce For Pasta
- Peel 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Roughly chop and blend until smooth.
- In a large pot, combine the tomato puree with 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 stalks chopped celery, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat.
- Reduce heat to the lowest setting and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. You'll notice little bubbles forming on the surface as the water evaporates.
- Remove the garlic and celery before serving.
- Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil (optional) for extra richness.
- Serve your delicious homemade tomato sauce over your favorite pasta.
- To store: Pour the cooled sauce into sterilized jars, ensuring the surface of the sauce is covered with a layer of olive oil to prevent spoilage. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 months.
