Preparation

Heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the sliced onion and sweat for 5 minutes without browning.
Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just to release its aroma without burning it (it turns bitter).
Add the diced tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
Taste and add a pinch of sugar if the sauce seems too acidic.
Blend if you prefer a smooth texture, or keep it rustic, then stir in the chopped basil just before serving to preserve its aroma.
