Really Good Pizza Sauce

I find most canned pizza and pasta sauces way too sweet, so I made my own today. Sauteing all the seasonings first releases the flavors a lot better.

2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. minced onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
dash cayenne pepper
1 T. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
black pepper
sea salt
12 oz. tomato sauce

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat, saute onions and garlic until fragrant (2-3 minutes), add spices and herbs and cook 30 more seconds, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Add tomato sauce, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
