Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, add tomatoes, onion halves, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine.,Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and partially cover. Allow the aromatics to gently infuse the tomato sauce and cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.,Remove from heat, leaving the aromatics in the sauce to continue steeping while it cools.
- When the sauce is room temperature, remove and discard the onion halves and basil sprigs. You can also remove the garlic cloves, but I like to keep those in the sauce for a zesty surprise. Stir in the olive oil to finish. Give the sauce a taste and adjust seasoning, if desired.
- Spoon the sauce over your prepared pizza crust or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
