1 28ouncecan of GOOD canned tomatoesthe original recipe recommends fire-roasted, but I'm a huge fan of San Marzano
1small garlic clove; if you don't have a small oneuse half of a medium or a quarter of a large clove, you don't want to overdo the garlic in this sauce
Dried oreganostart with 1 teaspoon
Extra-virgin olive oil1-2 tablespoons
Kosher sea saltstart with 1/2 to 1 tablespoon
Pinchof sugar
Optional: a splash of balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend for a few seconds. This is a "go with your heart" recipe on amounts but I've tried to give guidance.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary (I typically end up adding more salt, and a little sugar to balance out the acidity).
