1 tsp Dried basil

1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

Prepare the Aromatics

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion. Set aside.

Measure the Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl, measure out the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix together and set aside.

Cooking the Sauce

Sauté the Aromatics

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Stir in the tomato sauce, dried spice mixture, balsamic vinegar, and water. Mix until well combined.

Simmer the Sauce

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Finishing Touches

Adjust Seasoning

Taste your sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Add Fresh Parsley (Optional)

If using, stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving for added flavor and color.
