How to Make Fresh Tomato And Garlic Pasta Sauce

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Stir in the fresh basil leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  5. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
