Preparation Instructions

Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions. When they start to stick add the olive oil. Shake the pan and toss with a wooden spoon for about 5-8 minutes until they are tender and starting to turn golden in color.

Add in the crushed tomatoes and juice. Bring up to a simmer and season with the remaining ingredients. Add a pinch of salt, red chili flakes, minced garlic and dried or fresh herbs.

Simmer for at least 5-10 minutes until the flavors meld.
