Step 1

Start by blending a can of tomatoes, along with their juices, in a blender. Pulse until you achieve a coarse purée.Note: If using canned crushed tomatoes, no need to use the blender. The crushed tomatoes are already the right consistency.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook it just until it starts to turn golden brown, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Pour the tomato purée into the saucepan. Season the mixture with a sprinkle of dried basil and salt.

Step 4

Stir in the honey to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

Step 5

Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasonings and honey as desired.
