Easy tomato sauce

This is our go-to sauce when we want to throw together a pizza, pasta dish, or even a hoagie for supper. I really love the simplicity of the flavors here, and you can modify to suit your taste, but i find that the bit of sugar is necessary to counter the canned flavor (so it isn't usually necessary when working with fresh tomatoes).

1 Tbsp. EVOO
1 Yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 oz. can Muir Glen organic diced plum tomatoes
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 handful fresh basil leaves, washed
dash salt and pepper to taste

1. Sautee the onion in the olive oil
2. Add the garlic and tomatoes, bring to a simmer.
3. Add the oregano, sugar, salt and pepper, stir to combine, 5 minutes.
4. Add the basil and more salt and pepper as needed.

You can also add red pepper flakes, bay leaves, fresh rosemary, mushrooms, or peppers to the sautee to bring out other flavors.
