Basic Tomato Sauce

1 can San Marzano whole tomatoes
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 taplespoons olive oil
salt, pepper
2 tablespoons dried italian spices
1 teaspood dried chilli flakes

To Prepare
In a large saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat, cook onions until soft and golden (about 5 minutes). Add garlic, salt, pepper and spices and cook for 2 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. When tomatoes are softened crush with fork. This can continue to simmer over low heat for another hour, but if you are rushed, like I usually am, you can serve right away.

Serve over your favorite pasta.
