Note

For a smoother consistency, you can blend the sauce with an immersion blender after simmering.

This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a sweeter sauce, you can substitute the red onion with yellow or white onion, or add a pinch of sugar.

Fresh basil can be stirred in at the end of cooking for a brighter, fresher flavor profile.
