Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add the red chili flakes to the onion and garlic mixture, stirring well to combine and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Tomatoes

    Pour the canned whole tomatoes into the saucepan, breaking them up with a spoon. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Basil and Season

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil, and season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving over your choice of pasta or as a base for other dishes.
