Sauce Preparation

1

Sauté Vegetables

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

2

Add Tomatoes

Chop the tomatoes and add them to the saucepan. Stir well and cook for another 10 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

3

Season the Sauce

Add salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir to combine and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Add Fresh Herbs

Finally, add the basil leaves and stir into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

5

Finishing Touches

If desired, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley just before serving for added flavor.
