How to Make Easy Tomato Sauce

  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
