Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Measure Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and measure them accurately for easy mixing.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce and stir well to combine with the sautéed onion and garlic.

  3. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the tomato sauce. Stir to incorporate all the seasonings.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the sauce along with the fresh basil leaves. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  2. 8

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
