Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add the peeled ripe tomatoes to the pot, breaking them up slightly with a wooden spoon if they are whole.
  5. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover partially.
  7. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed before serving.
