Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups onions, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced (I typically increase this to a tablespoon since I love garlicky pasta sauce)
3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans plum tomatoes, crushed
1/2 cup reserved meatball pan dripping (meatball recipe posted separately)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt (to taste)

Steps:

Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large dutch oven or similar pan.
Saute onions in oil for approximately 4 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes, pan drippings, parsley, sugar, red pepper flakes. Salt to taste.
Simmer for 15 minutes.
If you are using meatballs with the sauce, add the cooked meatballs after the 15 minutes and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
