Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tomato Basil Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by placing diced tomatoes and freshly chopped basil into a large saucepan.

Introduce minced onion and garlic to the skillet, sautéing them until the onion turns soft and translucent, which will take about 5 minutes.

Once the onion and garlic are perfectly sautéed, combine them with the tomato and basil blend.
Step 6
Season this delightful concoction with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
