2 - 28oz cans organic whole tomatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
1 large shallot - diced
3 garlic cloves - minced
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp Italian seasoning - I love Simply Organic brand
Using a wire whisk, saute' shallots, garlic and seasoning in olive oil over med high heat. Stir continuously once the oil begins to simmer. Do this for approximately 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and stir again with the wire whisk - squashing the tomatoes down to release all juices. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 4 hours.
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Remove from heat and let cool for 20-30 minutes. Puree in a high power blender for 30 seconds. This step makes all the difference. Your sauce will be velvety smooth and melt in your mouth.
Use on pasta, pizza, or bread dipping.
Enjoy!
