Basic Pizza Sauce

This sauce makes enough for two standard mozzarella pizzas.

3 tablespoons olive oil

½ large onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

2 shakes red pepper flakes

salt and pepper

1 28-ounce can tomato puree

2 teaspoons oregano

In a large saucepan set over medium heat, add oil, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and cook until onions are soft about 3 minutes. Stir in tomato puree and oregano. Let it simmer on stovetop over very low heat for at least 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes. Cool and freeze in small ziplocs for easy thawing.
