2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
8 cloves garlic minced

2 large sprigs fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
Heat the oil in a medium, covered saucepan over high heat.
Stir in the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. If the onion starts to brown, lower the heat.
Toss in the garlic and pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the tomatoes and basil, bring to a boil, cover and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.
Discard basil.
