Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
