Tomato sauce for pasta, pizza, lasagna

There are so many ways to make tomato sauce. You can use fresh or canned tomatoes, cook for a long or short period of time, add any herbs or species you want. I tasted my own way by using canned tomatoes  from Italy. Always check the canned tomatoes so you do not have any added other than tomatoes. The best is just tomatoes. You can pick peeled or crushed tomatoes, both of them are fine to make the sauce.

The brand Lasquisita works great. It gives a good intense tomato flavor to the sauce, and maybe this is where the magic is. This homemade tomato sauce tastes much better than ever store-bought could. It takes maybe 30 minutes to make and you can store it in the jar for later use.

Ingredients for the sauce:

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4-5 cloves of garlic, diced

1 can of Lasquisita tomatoes

2 tablespoons of coconut sugar/brown sugar

Species: oregano, basil, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper. Whatever you have, 1 teaspoon of each or more if you prefer.

Heat the oil in the pot, add onion, and garlic. Cook until the onion is soft. Add tomatoes from the can. Add all of the spices and sugar. Stir well. Cook covered for 15 minutes on  medium low heat. You can leave it for longer if you have time. Cooking for a longer time will make the sauce more thick. Short cooking will make the sauce thin but the flavor will be more of fresh tomato.
