In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Heat for about 2 minutes. Add onion and cook, until translucent about 4-5 minutes.

Step 2: Garlic and Aromatics
Add garlic cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add fresh thyme and bay leaves.

Step 3:Tomatoes
Add tomatoes. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4: Season and Stir
Add salt and pepper. Allow tomato sauce to continue cooking stirring occasionally for about 2 hours.

Step 5: Basil
Add torn basil and mix.
