Preparation

Step 1

Coat bottom of pan with olive oil.

Saute onion for a few minutes (do not let it brown), add garlic & saute for a few more minutes (never let garlic brown-it turns bitter)

Stir in canned tomatoes

Add seasonings-these amounts will have to be adjusted- add a little of each & taste-
As sauce cooks it will concentrate-you can add more salt later but you can't take it out!

Simmer slowly & keep tasting for seasoning
