Ingredients

14 1/2 ounces italian plum (roma) tomatoes undrained
1 each onion diced (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic finely chopped, or more
1 teaspoon basil dried, leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
1 x salt

Directions

In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10-20 minutes, or until liquid is reduced by half. In food processor or blender, puree small quantities of sauce at a time to desired consistency, pulsing on and off 3 to 4 times for a chunky sauce, longer for a smoother sauce.

Reviews

It is worth the effort to hunt through stores to find the canned Italian plum tomatoes imported from Italy. It makes such a huge difference than big brand tomatoes. It is the only canned tomatoes I have seen WITHOUT huge amounts of salt added. Check the label, if the canned tomatoes you use have salt there will be no need to add any to this recipe. Wish there was a way to remove the salt once it has been added to the can.
