This simple and quick Italian sauce is made with fresh tomatoes and herbs in just ten minutes and pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. Chopped tomatoes are simmered with garlic, onion, and fresh herbs until the sauce is infused with the flavors of Mediterranean spices. For best results, use several herbs, such as a mixture of parsley, basil, and oregano. To balance the acidity of the tomatoes, add a pinch of sugar at the very end. This sauce pairs perfectly with cheese ravioli, pasta, or gnocchi.

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp diced onion
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
