Ingredients
- ½ medium yellow onion - diced
- 4 cloves garlic - minced
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a medium nonstick pot to medium-high heat on the stovetop. Add a small amount of water to prevent sticking, and add the onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.
- Add garlic to the pot and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until garlic is very fragrant.
- Add crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, tomato paste, and maple syrup to the pot. Stir to combine. Lower slightly to medium heat, partially cover with a lid, and bring to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmer, continue to cook at this temperature for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the temperature to low and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Add salt to taste
- Serve as you wish and enjoy!
