When it comes to making homemade spaghetti sauce, using fresh tomatoes may not always be an option. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy a delicious and flavorful sauce. By using frozen tomatoes, you can create a quick and easy spaghetti sauce that tastes just as good as if you had used fresh tomatoes.

To make this quick and simple spaghetti sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

– 3 cups frozen tomatoes (thawed and peeled)
– 1 onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
– 1 can tomato paste
– 1 cup water

Here’s how to make the sauce:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until they are soft and translucent.

2. Add the thawed and peeled tomatoes to the skillet and break them up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and are starting to break down.

3. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.

4. Add the tomato paste and water to the skillet, stirring until well combined. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more water to reach your desired consistency.

6. Once the sauce is ready, serve it over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
