Ingredients

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons Olive oil adds richness and depth to the sauce; can be replaced with butter for a different flavor profile.
4 cloves Garlic minced; infuses the sauce with aromatic goodness; fresh garlic is best, but jarred can work in a pinch.
28 ounces Crushed tomatoes forms the base of your sauce, providing sweetness and acidity; diced tomatoes can also be used for a chunkier texture.
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning brings a blend of herbs that enhances the overall flavor; you can substitute with individual dried herbs like basil and oregano.
1 teaspoon Salt essential for balancing flavors; adjust according to taste preference.
½ teaspoon Black pepper adds a touch of heat; feel free to use white pepper for a milder flavor.
¼ cup Fresh basil chopped; brightens up the sauce with freshness; dried basil can be used in its place, though fresh is recommended for vibrant flavor.
