Published on July 1, 2015
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped*
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 6 basil leaves, coarsely chopped or torn
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and bay leaf and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper.
*An easy way to chop the tomatoes is to cut them up with scissors while they are in the can.
