INSTRUCTIONS
In a 11/2 to 2-quart saucepan, combine the oil and onion and cook over
medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is fully tender and
golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Or, over medium-low heat, combine the oil and the
garlic. Cook the garlic, pressing it into the oil a couple of times to
release its flavor, until it barely begins to color on both sides. Remove
the garlic.
With a food mill, puree the tomatoes directly into the pot and stir well.
Add salt and either hot pepper flakes or black pepper to taste. Increase
the heat slightly and bring to a brisk simmer. Adjusting the heat as the
sauce cooks down, and stirring frequently, simmer briskly for about 12
minutes, until the sauce has thickened and reduced.
Season with herbs according to the recipe you are preparing. For the most
basic sauce, add a few torn basil leaves or a tablespoon of finely cut
parsley while the sauce is simmering. Then add a little more at the end of
cooking.
