Three Ingredient Tomato Sauce

[Kerful13]

Are you a tomato lover like me? Here's a simple and delicious three-ingredient tomato sauce recipe:

Ingredients:​

• Canned Crushed Tomatoes: 1 can (28 oz)
• Garlic: 2-3 cloves, minced
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
• Salt and Pepper: to taste (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Garlic:
   • Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
2. Cook the Garlic:
   • In a saucepan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Add the Tomatoes:
   • Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes into the pan with the garlic and olive oil.
   • Stir well to combine.
4. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over low to medium heat.
   • Let it simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
   • If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender to blend the sauce directly in the pan.
5. Season to Taste:
   • Once the sauce has simmered to your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
6. Serve or Store:
   • Use the sauce immediately over pasta, pizza, or any dish of your choice.
   • Alternatively, let the sauce cool completely before storing it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. This sauce also freezes well for longer storage.

Tips:​

• Enhance with Herbs: You can add dried herbs like oregano, basil, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
• Onion Variation: If you like, you can sauté finely chopped onion along with the garlic for added depth.
• Fresh Tomatoes: If you have fresh tomatoes on hand, you can substitute them for canned tomatoes; just blanch, peel, and crush them before adding to the sauce.

This three-ingredient tomato sauce is versatile and can be customized based on your preferences. Enjoy making this quick and tasty sauce for your favorite pasta dishes or pizzas!
