Instructions

Step 1

Pour the can of San Marzano tomatoes in a large bowl and smash with a potato masher until desired texture. I kept some chunks in mine. Alternatively, add the tomatoes to a food processor and pulse to desired texture.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan or saucepan over medium low heat. Add garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often so the garlic doesn't burn. Add the optional red pepper flakes and cook for another minute, stirring often.

Step 3

Add the crushed tomatoes, water, granulated sugar, and salt & pepper to taste. Stir ingredients to combine.

Step 4

Add the fresh basil. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the sauce with the dish of your choice such as pasta or pizza.
