Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Adjust heat to medium and bring the tomatoes-oil mixture to a simmer.

Add the chopped basil, oregano, and parsley and stir it into the tomatoes. Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally over medium-low heat, keeping it at a simmer.

If you want, you can further crush the tomatoes with a potato masher, otherwise, they would eventually break down the longer you cook the sauce...continued in the post!
