Simple Freezer Tomato Basil Sauce
 
Ingredients
  • 4 28-oz cans whole San Marzano tomatoes in juice
  • 16 large garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 to 1½ cups packed basil leaves, torn
  • Salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. Pulse tomatoes with juice in a blender briefly to make a chunky puree.
  2. Cook garlic in oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat until fragrant and pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomato puree, basil, and a little salt. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced, about 60-90 minutes. Season with additional salt if needed and cool.
  3. Divide sauce and portion into quart size freezer bags (I like doing 1 cup per bag). Freeze flat. Remove from freezer and defrost in fridge when ready to use.
