01 Step

Recipe View 1 mins In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add anchovy fillets and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to sizzle (approximately 1 minute). Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Incorporate fresh oregano, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the oregano is wilted (2-3 minutes).

Recipe View 3 mins Add crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with sugar, black pepper, and salt to taste. Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened and the oil begins to rise to the surface (35-40 minutes). Stir in a pinch of baking soda until fully incorporated to balance acidity.

For the most authentic flavor, use San Marzano tomatoes. Their sweetness and low acidity make for an exceptional sauce.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for spice.
Simmering the sauce for a longer period will deepen the flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
