Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. 2 tbsp olive oil
Add onion to the hot pot, stirring frequently. Cook 5 to 6 minutes until the onion is translucent. 1 medium onion
Add tomato paste and garlic. Stir often, if this sticks to the pot it makes a mess. Cook for 3-4 minutes. 1 6 oz can tomato paste, 4 cloves garlic
Feel free to blend or chop tomatoes to your liking before the next step. If you prefer chunky sauce, leave it as is right out of the can. 2 28 oz cans whole tomatoes
Add remaining ingredients (except basil) and bring to a rolling boil. After you boil, reduce the heat and let simmer while stirring for about 3 minutes. 2 tbsp honey, 1/4 tsp black pepper
Garnish with the basil and mix together. The longer you let this sauce simmer, the better the tastes blend together. Ideally, let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes. 3 tbsp basil
