Preparation

Step 1

Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add ¼ cup olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and a large pinch of salt. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 8-10 minutes. Add the chili flakes, tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Add oregano bundle, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low heat and cook for 30 minutes.

Remove herb bundle and remove from heat. Puree on low to preserve the red color. Add basil and stir to combine. Set aside and keep warm.
