Servings 8
Ingredients
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, minced garlic, sugar, oregano and red pepper flakes, mixing to fully combine.
- Bring to a low boil and then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often. Tomato sauce can quickly splatter and get messy, so make sure the boil isn’t too high and that you’re stirring it.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, mixing until sauce is thickened and creamy.
- Serve over spaghetti and enjoy! Any leftovers can be stored in a mason jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you'd like to freeze place sauce in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to a year.
