For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce to your desired consistency after simmering. Fresh herbs like basil or oregano can be added during the last 5 minutes of simmering for added flavor. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. For a richer flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic along with the onions.
