Ingredients

30 ml olive oil

2 anchovy fillets

3 cloves garlic, minced

30 ml finely chopped fresh oregano leaves

1 (800 g) can whole peeled tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), crushed

2.5 ml red pepper flakes

2.5 ml dried oregano

2.5 ml white sugar

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

salt to taste

1 pinch baking soda

Directions

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the anchovy fillets and cook, stirring often, until they sizzle, about 1 minute. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the fresh oregano and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes over low heat.

Step 2

Add the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer. Season with sugar, pepper, and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and oil rises to the top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Stir in the baking soda until fully incorporated.
