Directions:
Puree the tomatoes to a smooth, creamy consistency in a food processor or with an immersion blender.

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. When hot, add the onion and sauté 5 to 6 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until you see the color start changing. If you'd like to make the sauce spicy, add the red pepper flakes.

Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 30 minutes. Add the basil and remove from heat.
