Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
9 1/2 oz yellow sweet onions, finely diced (about 1 medium onion)
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/3 oz sweet basil , chiffonade (fresh italian, about 12 leaves)
1 1/8 oz garlic, minced (about 3 large cloves)
1 small red chili pepper (fresh , any variety , choose your spice level to meet your own tolerances)
1/2 tsp salt
28 oz crushed tomatoes (canned )

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the finely diced onion and black pepper. Saute until the onions start to brown. This will take about 5-8 minutes, depending on your stovetop's heat.
Lower the heat to medium (about half what it was while browning the onions) and add the basil, minced garlic, chili pepper, and salt. Saute for about 4-5 minutes until the garlic starts to brown, just a bit, around the edges.
Add the tomato, stir everything together, lower the heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Covered, simmer the tomatoes for 15 minutes, stirring once, after 7-8 minutes, to keep from sticking.
Remove the lid and stir the tomatoes. Simmer and stir occasionally (to prevent scorching), uncovered, until the watery liquids are evaporated or absorbed. This will take about another15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and either serve right away with pasta or put the sauce in your blender to create a smooth puree.
