Ingredients

• 2  teaspoons olive oil

• 1  teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (can be omitted if you prefer)

• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1  teaspoon sugar (can leave out, or use more or less- 1 teaspoon is what I use) (optional)

Directions

1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Stir in tomato products, oregano, rosemary, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Taste sauce and if desired, add sugar. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until it is thickened up a bit. Use as desired.
