My Everyday Favourite Tomato Sauce

1. 1

   In a large unheated saucepan, combine the oil, onion, garlic and salt and stir to coat with oil.

2. 2

   Cook over moderate heat just until the garlic turns golden but does not brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

   If using whole canned tomatoes, place a food mill over the skillet and puree the tomatoes directly into it.

4. 4

   Crushed tomatoes can be added directly from the can.

5. 5

   Add the herb bundle, stir to blend and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.

   For a thicker sauce, for pizzas and toppings, cook for 5 minutes more.

7. 7

   Taste for seasoning.

8. 8

   Remove and discard the herb bundle.

9. 9

   The sauce may be used immediately, stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
