- 2 lbs Roma tomatoes, skinned and seeded

- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 2-3 minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute, then add the pepper flakes, basil, salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and lower the heat to a simmer, cooking 5 minutes.
