Mixing

Finely grate the onion and garlic cloves and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan using a medium heat and add the grated onion and garlic along with the oregano. Sautee until the garlic and onion appears clear, then gradually stir in the tomato puree and passata sauce. Reduce the heat to a low setting and simmer for 15 minutes stirring regularly.
