Step 1
Start by pouring the tomato juice and tomato paste into a large pot. Add in the brown sugar, garlic, oregano, basil, marjoram, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir to combine. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once it’s boiling, lower the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens up nicely—this usually takes about 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving, and enjoy your rich, smooth sauce!
