San Marzano Tomato Sauce
  1. In a large stainless steel pot on LOW-MEDIUM heat sauté garlic in olive oil for 30-60 seconds. Stir constantly to keep garlic from burning.

  2. 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 3+ hours. Stir every so often to avoid burning. Note: if using a parmesan rind, add it in this step and let it simmer with sauce until finished. Remove and discard rind when ready to serve.

  3. When sauce is finished cooking, use a hand immersion-blender to puree. Note: If you prefer a chunkier/thicker sauce, you can skip this step as the San Marzanos naturally break down while cooking.

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