Ingredients

  • 1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • kosher salt (to taste)

Directions

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and serve.
