How to Make Bob's Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 3 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  7. Serve over your favorite pasta and garnish with fresh basil (optional).
