How To Make San Marzano Tomato Sauce Food and Dessert Ideas

INGREDIENTS

• 8 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 5 28oz cans San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes
• 2 tbsp amore sun-dried tomato paste
• 1/2 tsp (each) salt & black pepper
• 3 Tbsp fresh basil (for dried basil - 1 Tbsp)
• 2 Tbsp fresh oregano (for dried oregano - 2 tsp)
• 1 Tbsp fresh thyme (for dried thyme - 1 tsp)

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a large pot on medium heat saute garlic in olive oil for 30-60 seconds - constantly stir. Garlic can burn very easily in this process. 
• Add San Marzano tomatoes to garlic. Add tomato paste, salt & pepper. Mix, and cover on low heat for 4-6 hours. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
• The whole tomatoes will break down as they cook and result in a thicker, chunkier sauce. If you prefer a smooth sauce you can use a hand-puree tool or transfer to a high-powdered blender.
• When sauce is finished mix in fresh herbs. Serve with your favorite pasta, lasagna, or chicken parmesan.
