Easy Quick Pasta Sauce

Ingredients:
– 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
– Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
– Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the sauce. Stir to incorporate the seasonings evenly.

5. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference. If you like a sweeter sauce, you can add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey at this stage.

7. Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. It should coat the back of a spoon nicely.

8. Serve the Easy Quick Pasta Sauce over your favorite cooked pasta, such as spaghetti or penne. Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

9. Enjoy your delicious homemade pasta dish with family and friends. This sauce also freezes well, so you can make a batch ahead of time for future meals.
