Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this can make it bitter.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. This builds a flavorful base for the sauce.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they begin to break down and release their juices.
- While the sauce is simmering, make a smooth puree with the remaining tomatoes. You can use a blender or an immersion blender for this step.
- Add the tomato puree to the pan with the other vegetables. Stir well to combine. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the dried oregano, Italian herb mix, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Simmering the herbs with the sauce helps to release their full flavor.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. This ensures the pasta has a pleasant bite to it.
- Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it to the pan with the tomato sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
- Serve the spaghetti hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh oregano, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a richer, deeper flavor, roast the tomatoes and garlic in the oven before blending them into the sauce—this adds subtle sweetness and complexity.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, use a blender or immersion blender after simmering, then strain through a sieve for a silky texture.
- To make this dish vegan-friendly and creamier, stir in a splash of unsweetened oat or cashew cream just before serving.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality canned tomatoes for the best flavor. San Marzano tomatoes are a great option.
- Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a wonderful savory note. Add it just before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover sauce can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen in an airtight container for up to a month. It also works well as a pizza base or dip.
