Category: Sauce / Italian
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 6
THC per serving: Approximately 10mg per portion
Terpene Pairing: Best paired with strains high in Myrcene or Limonene. Myrcene deepens the tomato sweetness and herbal warmth, while Limonene brightens the acidity and lifts the aromatics.
Dosage Information: Each serving contains approximately 10mg THC depending on the potency of your infused olive oil. PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND START LOW, GO SLOW. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Effects may take 30–90 minutes to onset. Wait at least 2 hours before considering additional consumption. Do not drive or operate machinery.
Decarboxylation Instructions: Preheat your oven to 240°F. Break up 3.5g of cannabis flower into small, even pieces and spread it across a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even activation. Let cool completely before using.
Infusion Instructions (Cannabis Olive Oil): In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup high‑quality extra virgin olive oil with your decarbed cannabis. Heat on the lowest setting for 45–60 minutes, keeping the temperature between 160–180°F. Strain through cheesecloth into a heat‑safe container. This infused olive oil will be added at the end of the sauce to preserve potency.
Ingredients: 2 tbsp regular olive oil, 1 small onion finely diced, 3 cloves garlic minced, 1 carrot finely grated, 1 can San Marzano tomatoes (28 oz), 1 tsp dried oregano, pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste, handful of fresh basil, 2–4 tbsp cannabis olive oil (from infusion).
Instructions: Warm regular olive oil in a pot over low heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrot and cook slowly until soft and sweet, never browning. Add tomatoes, crushing them gently with a spoon. Add oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and naturally reduced. Remove from heat and stir in the cannabis olive oil and fresh basil, letting the residual warmth distribute the infusion without degrading it.
Chef Tips: Never rush soffritto—sweetness comes from time, not heat. Add basil at the end for brightness. Adjust the amount of infused oil based on desired potency. Use this sauce on pasta, pizza, or as a base for braises.
Serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly 🍅🌿
