Notes

Choose tomatoes you love. Since they’re the star of the show, a good-quality canned tomato makes all the difference.
Give it time to simmer. At least 30 minutes will build that rich flavor—longer if you’ve got the patience.
Toss in extra veggies if you want. A diced carrot or celery stick sautéed with the onions adds a nice layer of flavor.
