Preparation

  1. 5 mins

    Warm the pan over medium-low heat, add the olive oil, and heat oil. Add garlic, oregano, pepper, and salt. Cook until garlic is lightly browned, not burnt.

  2. 7 mins

    Increase heat to high. Add tomatoes, then cut tomatoes with kitchen scissors, at least into quarters. Let the sauce sit for a little, mix it around, let it get hot. Stir constantly. Aggressively. Make sure the spices get mixed throughout, and the heat begins to release the flavor in the tomatoes. Start first taste tests now. Keep cutting as it cooks, make it all uniform. Eliminate any large chunks and outliers. Bring it to a boil essentially.

  3. 1 min

    Add the tomato paste. Mix it in. Turn the heat down to low. Keep stirring. Never stop.

  4. 1 hr

    Let it sit over the lowest heat. Cover with a lid, but let it breath. You can let it cook over low for up to 3 hours. Or, you can cook on low for about 10 minutes, then turn the heat to medium for about ten. Great results when you cook for about 45 minutes at this point, but the longer the better.
