Directions

When fresh tomatoes aren’t in season, here’s a quick way to doctor up canned tomato sauce.

In a non-stick 1-quart saucepan, heat olive oil.

Add onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until onion is pale golden.

Add tomato sauce and a tablespoon of the parsley and cook on medium-low heat about 15 minutes to blend the flavors.

Taste.

If too acidic, add a teaspoon of sugar.

Add freshly ground pepper to taste and salt, if needed.

Finish by stirring in another tablespoon of parsley and your choice of basil, oregano, or marjoram.
