Description

This 5 ingredient tomato sauce is an easy 15-minute recipe made with canned tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want a homemade sauce without a long simmer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
  2. Combine the minced garlic with water to make a paste, then add it to the olive oil.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the tomatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until they start to break down. Add the salt and sugar.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce or transfer to a jug blender and blend until just slightly chunky. You can also just break down the tomatoes with the back of the spoon if you like an extra chunky sauce!
