Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in the 28 oz crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors. Serve hot over pasta or as desired.
