Simple Red Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2-3 T Extra Virgin olive oil
• 1⁄2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 large garlic cloves, smashed
• 1/3 c chicken stock (at home, we use wine)
• 1 28-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 28-ounce can diced tomato
• 1⁄2 t dried basil
• 1⁄2 t dried oregano
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté 2-3 minutes until they begin to sweat.
2. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute until you smell the garlic, be careful not to burn.
3. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock and stir to remove any fond from the bottom of your pan. Add tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and stir.
4. Add herbs, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Let sauce simmer 30 minutes.
