Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp olive oil
2 medium onions, peeled, chopped into large chunks and finely chopped in a food processor
1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp sugar
salt and pepper
6 garlic cloves, finely hand chopped
2 (28 oz) cans plum tomatoes with juice , pureed in a blender
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper

Directions:

Heat a medium sized heavy bottomed pot to medium and warm the olive oil.
Add the chopped onions, hot pepper flakes, sugar, salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 15 minutes - a little bit of brown is O.K. It adds some flavor!
Add the garlic, stir and cook for three minutes.
Taste the tomatoes to determine how much salt you want to add.
Add the pureed tomatoes, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, drop to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Add the chopped basil or oregano and stir.
Let sit for about 5 minutes.
Enjoy with what ever dish you are making!
