Ingredients
THIS AMOUNT IS FOR 1 POUND OF PASTA.
½ cup olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes with puree
1 sprig fresh oregano, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the oil is fragrant and is seasoned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and purée. Heat to simmering, and cook on low heat until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
- Step 2
Add the oregano, basil and Italian seasoning, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on low heat for another 15 minutes or so as it thickens.
Jacobs served these dishes with a green salad topped with sliced tomatoes, a bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian dressing and sliced Italian bread.

Easy and excellent! I added some red wine.
Great recipe - I make a double batch so that I always have some in the freezer for other nights. I add more garlic, since we are serious garlic lovers here and use fresh basil from my hydroponic garden! If you don't have an herb garden - get one! They are awesome....and mine was under $75!
Quick, easy....I also added some red wine & used a bit more garlic to suit our taste. Freezes well & makes a great base to turn into other variations - puttanesca, vodka & palomino sauce to mix it up. Also great for mussels marinara!
