By

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons grape-seed or olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
  • 1 box Pomi tomatoes {strained}
  • 1 box Pomi tomatoes {chopped}
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
  • 6 fresh basil leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium sauce pan over med-high heat. Add onions and sauté until they are translucent. Remove onions using a slotted spoon, keeping as much of the oil in the pot as possible. Add the remaining 6 ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 40 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Tip For Chopping The Basil:
Place the leaves on top of one another, and roll them up like a cigarette. Take your knife and chop the leaves horizontally. Then chop again into finer pieces.
