Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to caramelize the paste slightly.
-
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and sugar, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
-
Once the sauce has reached your preferred taste and thickness, remove from heat and serve over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti or penne.
-
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
