🧂 Ingredients

2 tbs olive oil
1 small onion
3 cloves garlic
4 cups cherry tomatoes
1/4 tsp salt

or more
1/2 tbs Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp sugar

or more (optional)

Instructions

1 Start by washing your cherry tomatoes (if not using frozen) thoroughly under
cool running water. Remove the stems and any blemished or unripe tomatoes.
2 In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add some finely
chopped onions, sautéing until they turn translucent.
3 Add in garlic and simmer for 30 seconds or so. Garlic burns easy so just be
careful.
4 Add the cherry tomatoes to the garlic and onions. Stir them gently.
5 Sprinkle in some salt, and Italian seasonings.
6 Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Stir
occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
7 Using a blender or an immersion blender, process the sauce until the desired
consistency is reached. Alternatively, for a rustic texture, simply crush some
of the tomatoes with a potato masher or the back of a spoon.
8 Simmer until the desired consistency is reached.
9 Use as a pasta sauce, dipping sauce, for pizza, or whatever you desire.
