Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce and stir well to combine with the sautéed onion and garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Flavoring

  1. 3

    Incorporate Seasonings

    Add the brown sugar, dried oregano, and dried basil to the tomato sauce mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 4

    Optional Heat

    If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and stir to combine.

Simmering

  1. 5

    Let It Simmer

    Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Add Fresh Basil

    If using, stir in the chopped fresh basil just before serving for a burst of freshness.
