5. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until the tomatoes are bubbling.
6. Stir together, turn the heat back to medium-low, partly cover and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the sauce is thick and fragrant, 25 to 30 minutes.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning.

9. If your sauce is chunky, put through a food mill or pulse in a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
