- Add olive oil to a large deep skillet and cook over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and crushed red pepper to the oil and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Meanwhile, add the tomatoes and basil to a food processor and puree, reduce the heat of the onion mixture and slowly pour the tomato mixture into the skillet. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
