How To Make restaurant style italian tomato sauce

  • Step 2

The San Marzano tomatoes should be lightly crushed,you can do this quickly in a foes processor or in a large bowl with your hands,be sur not to make them to fine as you want pieces of the tomato. Stir all the ingrediients well and simmer for one hour.
