Ingredients: NOTE: This recipe calls out San Marzano tomatoes (canned) from Italy. They are generally available in supermarkets. Centro is a brand, "Certified" San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes. If you cannot find them locally, Amazon Prime carries them. Trust me. They are the best tasting tomatoes and you will never need to add sugar to your recipe again to correct sour tasting tomatoes.
4 - 28 oz cans whole tomatoes, preferably from San Marzano, Italy.
1/2 C EVOO
6 TBS minced onion
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper (Sea salt is best).
12 leaves (or more) Fresh Basil, torn
Pinch of dried Oregano

Notes: This is the perfect accompaniment to Rao's Meatball recipe, in this book and any pasta recipe, too.
NOTE: you can save extra sauce in glass jars, fitted with screw tops and lids and kept in the freezer; do not fill to top of jars; leave a 3/4" space from top to allow for expansion when frozen. Be sure to label your jars with date. May be kept up to 6 months in freezer.
