Directions
Heat a large pot over medium heat until hot (approximately 5 minutes).
Add butter and oil; heat until clear and the bubbling stops.
Add onion; gently sauté for 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Add garlic; gently sauté for 1 minute.
Add tomato juice.
Add tomatoes, one at a time, crushing completely using your hands (watch for spurts).
Add oregano and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10–15 minutes.
Add 1 tsp salt and sugar, black pepper, and tomato paste; Stir until paste is incorporated.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes
Taste and season accordingly. You do not want the sauce to be salty, just not unsalty. You do not want the sauce to be sweet, just not sour. Season by adding the remaining salt and sugar a little at a time, stirring completely between tastes.
Serve over al dente spaghetti with a side of Italian sausage or meatballs and a deep sweet red wine; serves 4, make this for two and enjoy again tomorrow night!
