8 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

28 oz San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes, (5 cans), with juices

3 tbsp amore sun-dried tomato paste

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

3 tbsp fresh basil, (for dried basil – 1 tbsp)

2 tbsp fresh oregano, (for dried oregano – 2 tsp)

2 tsp fresh thyme, optional (for dried thyme – 1 tsp)

In a large pot on low-medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil for 30 to 60 seconds. Stir constantly to keep garlic from burning.

Add tomatoes and simmer: pour canned tomatoes with juices in with the garlic. Add tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix ingredients together, partially cover with lid – but not completely, and simmer on low heat for at least 4 hours. Stir every so often to avoid burning.

When sauce is finished cooking, use a hand immersion-blender to puree.

When sauce is finished, mix in chopped fresh herbs. Season with additional salt and black pepper if needed and serve!
