Step 1

Sauté some onions and garlic in olive oil

Step 2

Add the spices: oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, crushed red pepper

Step 3

Add the tomato paste to the garlic and spices and swirl it around to heat it up. Heating the tomato paste brings out its beautiful tomato-y flavor.

Step 4

Next add the tomatoes, bring the mixture to a simmer and let bubble for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes. The longer the better.

Step 5

After simmering, give the sauce a taste and add sugar if necessary. If there's any acidic or bitter aftertaste, add in a half teaspoon sugar or more to offset the flavor.
