  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Pour in the undrained can of diced tomatoes. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
