Step 1
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Pour in the 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Let it bubble gently, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavors meld, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Use immediately or cool and store.
