Spaghetti Sauce Instructions
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato and blanch them in the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes from the water and let them cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin and discard it.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the peeled and chopped tomatoes to the pot, along with the tomato paste, salt, sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, and black pepper.
  4. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir the sauce occasionally.
