Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Half medium yellow onion medium diced
- 5-6 garlic cloves smashed
- 3 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 28 oz cans San Marzano tomatoes, peeled and crushed with reserved juice
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter in olive oil over medium heat.
- Toss in onions and saute until they are translucent and gaining a golden brown color, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for one minute, stirring to make sure the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add tomato paste, stir well and cook for a minute or two, making sure it doesn't burn, then pour in tomatoes and stir well.
- Stir in sugar, oregano, and bay leaves, then cover the pot, lower the temperature to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes to 2 hours. The longer you simmer, the more time the flavors have to meld together.
- Remove bay leaves and take pot off the heat. Season to taste with sugar, salt and pepper.
- Optional: blend the sauce well in a blender if you want a smooth sauce.
