Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained

- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cane sugar
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a food processor, place the garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the whole tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, sugar, and several grinds of pepper. Process until smooth and season to taste.
