Tony Diramio'S (Not Your Mama'S) Fra Diavolo Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 white onion, diced
    2 (28 ounce) cans san marzano brand peeled Italian plum tomatoes
    1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
    1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
    1 teaspoon crushed black pepper (to taste)
    1 tablespoon granulated garlic (to taste)
    1 tablespoon oregano
    1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons sugar
Preparation
    In a large skillet or sauce pan saute white onions in olive oil.
    Crush plum tomatoes in you hand and then add to skillet with white onions.
    Add crushed tomatoes and seasoning to skillet and cook covered at medium high heat for 30 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer on low for 2-1/2 hours; stirring occasionally.
    If you remove lid and let steam escape the sauce will thicken. Some people like it thicker.
    The sauce will get hotter (spicier) the longer you let simmer.
    The trick to hotter sauce is to add the desired crushed red pepper at the beginning.
