Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until light golden brown around the edges. Stir in onion and oregano and cook 4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in tomato paste, vinegar and sugar; cook 1 minute.

  2. Stir in crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer about 20 minutes, or until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally. Stir in basil. Serve over pasta with cheese, if desired.  Use 4 to 4 1/2 cups sauce to toss with 1 pound cooked pasta.

Notes

TIP: This recipe makes more than enough sauce for 1 lb. of pasta. Freeze leftover sauce for another use.
