Pomodoro Sauce

My dad came up with this recipe as a quick fix for when we needed sauce but didn’t want to wait all day for the gravy to cook. This recipe has been a staple in our household ever since, because it is both easy to make and delicious to eat.

Ingredients

1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced (I like to use a couple more for extra flavor)
2-3 Tbsp. of olive oil
2 cans of crushed tomatoes (24 oz each)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsps of fresh basil (chopped or whole leaves)

Directions

In a medium pot over medium heat, cover the bottom of the pot with olive oil and add in the onion, ensuring all of the onion is coated in oil.
Stir constantly until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the garlic in and continue to heat until the garlic becomes golden brown and fragrant.
Pour in the cans of crushed tomatoes and the seasonings, red pepper flakes, and salt/ pepper.
Once the sauce begins to bubble, sprinkle in the parmesan cheese and basil.
Cover and allow to cook on simmer-low for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Serve with your favorite pasta, use as a dipping sauce, or however else you like, and enjoy!
