Tomato Sauce

Course: Sauces
Servings: 0
Author: Glutenfreeonashoestring.com

Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb. bacon diced (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons 14 to 28 g extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion peeled and grated on a medium-size grater
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and grated on a medium-size grater
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons 24 g granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 6- ounce can tomato paste
  • 2 28- ounce cans tomato puree or 2 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes, pureed with their juices until smooth

Instructions

  • If using bacon, place the diced bacon in a heavy-bottom 4-quart saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp-tender (about 4 minutes). Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat behind. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons if you did not use bacon), and heat over medium until rippling.
  • Add the grated onions and garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until fragrant and beginning to melt (about 4 minutes). Add the salt, pepper, basil and sugar, and stir to combine. Add the oregano, pressing it between your finger and palm to release the oils, and stir to combine. Add the tomato paste and tomato puree, and whisk to combine well. Cook until heated through and just beginning to bubble. Add the (optional) bacon, and stir to combine. Add more salt and/or pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

Adding a small can of tomato paste to the puree means that you have the perfect consistency for your sauce without having to simmer it down.
