Emily’s Pizza Sauce

1 tsp olive oil
½ cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups tomato sauce
1 can (5.5 oz) tomato paste
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
¼ cup roughly chopped basil (optional but strongly recommended)

Heat olive oil in small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until onions have softened. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in basil.

Cool before using. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
