- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato paste
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Tips to Enhance the Sauce:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables and canned tomatoes with no added sugar.
- Add extra vegetables: Include sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots for a more flavorful sauce.
- Use a splash of wine: Add a 1/4 cup of red or white wine to the sauce for depth of flavor.
- Simmer longer: Allow the sauce to simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Use fresh herbs: Substitute dried herbs with fresh oregano, basil, and parsley for a brighter flavor.
- Add a touch of sweetness: Balance the acidity of the sauce with a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar.
- Add heat: For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper.
- Garnish with cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce before serving.
- Add meat: Brown ground beef or Italian sausage and add it to the sauce for a heartier option.
- Use a slow cooker: Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours for a richer and more tender sauce.
