Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce, stirring to combine with the sautéed onion and garlic.

Seasoning the Sauce

  1. 3

    Incorporate Spices

    Add the dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer some heat, sprinkle in red chili flakes to taste.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
