A vibrant and flavorful tomato sauce with a spicy kick, perfect for pasta or as a base for other dishes.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor to the sauce.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning.

Adding the garlic later prevents it from burning and becoming bitter.

If using canned tomatoes, crush them with your hands before adding.

Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
