INSTRUCTIONS:

1st Step

Haat the olive oil in a large saucepan by heating it over a medium flame. After approximately 3-4 minutes of cooking time, add the finely chopped onion and cook until it gets translucent. When the onion is translucent, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2nd Step

In a saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes with the diced tomatoes and their liquids. Mix in the dry herbs (basil and oregano) and salt and pepper to taste.

3rd Step

Add a spoonful of sugar if the sauce is too acidic for your liking. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring periodically. This will give the sauce time to thicken and the flavors time to combine.

4th Step

While the sauce is reducing, start boiling water for the pasta in a big pot. Pasta should be cooked in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente, per package directions. Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it and leave it aside.
