For a richer flavor, sauté the diced onion in olive oil until translucent before adding the remaining ingredients. Fresh basil can be used instead of dried – add it towards the end of the simmering process to preserve its bright flavor. A pinch of sugar can help balance the acidity of the tomatoes, especially if they taste particularly tart. This sauce freezes well! Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.
