HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE

 I usually cook tomato sauce once a week and keep it in the fridge for my weekly recipes either pasta dishes like spaghettis or lasagna or  meat dishes like meatballs or bolognese.
Tomatoes have a rich flavor, high liquid content, and the right composition to thicken into a sauce.

For this sauce we will need:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can chopped tomatoes(1 pound)
• 1/2 diced onion
• 3 chopped garlic cloves
• salt to taste
• black ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 tablespoon olive oil

PREPARATION

1. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add onion and garlic, cook until light golden brown, for about 8 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil, stirring often.
3. Lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes until thick.
4. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
5. Add sugar to balance the acidity of tomatoes.
6. Blend the result to get a nice light tomato sauce.
7. Enjoy!!!
