- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the tomato puree. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer.
- Add the basil, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Take a roasted garlic clove and squeeze. The garlic should squeeze out of the skin like a paste. Squeeze each clove into the sauce and discard the skins.
