• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
• 1 to 2 tbsp Italian dry seasoning or dried basil

Directions:

1. In a skillet, heat a little the olive oil, add the garlic and onion. Saute until golden.
2. Add tomatoes, Italian dry seasoning (or dried basil), salt, pepper, sugar and stir for about 1 minute. Let it cook on low heat for about 3-5 minutes.

Total Time / Yield:

• About 25-30 minutes / 3-4 servings

Notes, Tips & Tricks:

1. When cooking tomato sauce, be sure to cover it with a lid, as it can splatter and mess while boiling.
2. If desired, use 1 can of diced tomato instead of fresh tomato. In this case, add a bit more of the spices and other ingredients listed above to season the sauce because one 28-ounce can of tomatoes equals about 10 to 12 whole tomatoes.
