Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce Base
Heat the Olive Oil: In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the Onion: Add the finely chopped onion to the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent. This step is crucial for building the sauce’s flavor.
Infuse with Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
Step 2: Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Combine Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes. Stir in the sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Simmer for Flavor: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the flavors to meld together.
