Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 3 medium cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 2 medium celery stalks roughly chopped
- 2 medium carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 (32 ounce) cans San Marzano crushed tomatoes
- 1 (32 ounce) cans San Marzano whole tomatoes
- 1 dried bay leaf
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or heavy-bottom stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions with a pinch of kosher salt and sauté until soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, and carrots and sauté for another 8-10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the tomatoes and bay leaf. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and completely cooked through, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. Once cool, remove the bay leaf.
- Using a hand held immersion blender or a food processor, blend the sauce until smooth or desired consistency. Sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to a week or stored in a freezer-safe container for up to 4 months.
