Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped fresh onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
32 ounces tomato sauce
salt (to desired flavor)
pepper (to desired flavor)

1. Chop your 1/2 medium onion.
2. Take a medium size pot and simmer together your chopped onions and oil over medium heat until onions are tender.
3. Pour in your tomato sauce and stir well.
4. let your sauce come to a boil for at least a half an hour.
