How to Make the Tomato Sauce
1. Sauté the Base Flavors:
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add finely diced onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
2. Simmer the Sauce:
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Stir in basil, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a little red pepper flakes if you like heat. Add a touch of sugar to balance the acidity. Let the sauce simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.
