· Sun-Dried Tomatoes 

· Oregano – 2 tbsp

· Fresh Basil – 7 to 8 leaves (finely chopped) 

· Vinegar – 1 tbsp

· Garlic – 2 cloves 

· Olive Oil – 3 tbsp

Recipe

Step 01:

The very first step of the recipe is that heat a pan and add the olive oil to it. Once done, add the minced or crushed garlic to the heated oil. When the garlic is golden, then add oregano to it, and sauté it for just a few seconds till you smell the aroma.

NOTE:

Make sure that the garlic is not burned while you sauté the oregano. Otherwise, it will not give a good taste to the sauce. 

Step 02:

Add the canned tomatoes to the pan. Mix it for a minute, and then let it simmer. Also, cover the pot and leave it on a low flame for the water to shrink. Before you cover the pot, let the sun-dried tomatoes in it. Now let the water shrink and the tomatoes be soft. 

NOTE:

If you have tried one of the most popular pizzas in Pakistan, then you might know that some of the Pizza houses make use of finely blended sauce, and some use a little chunky sauce. So, blend the tomatoes if you want to have a smooth sauce; otherwise, keep heating the sauce until it is thick. Surely this will make the sauce a little chunky. 

Hence there is no difference between a pizza and a pasta sauce. So, if you try this recipe at home, then for sure can save and store it not just but can also use it in a pizza as well as pasta. As this is a budget friendly sauce that saves the day.
