- Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well.
- Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.
