This is such a simple/basic sauce, it almost seems like overkill to dedicate a page to it… but here it is just the same. I usually make a double batch of this… it freezes well.
2 28oz cans of whole tomatoes (I usually use Wegmans Whole Roma Tomatoes)
3-4 garlic cloves – chopped
1 yellow onion- chopped
fresh basil
2 TBSP of olive oil (my favorite one to use here is Wegmans Basting Oil)
1 tsp salt

Drain the tomatoes, set aside.
Heat the oil in a decent size stockpot. Add the onions and garlic, cook 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil, and salt. After about 10 minutes, use an immersion blender to puree the sauce to your liking. Toss some additional fresh basil on top. Done!
