A classic Tomato Sauce Recipe

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add 1 finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds.

Add 2 cups of peeled tomatoes and any seasonings, including optional tomato paste if using.

If using, add 1 cup of vegetable stock.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Optionally, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to balance the acidity.

Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender for a smooth sauce, or leave chunky for a rustic texture.
