Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons House Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Gourmet Italian Seasoning (Our Mama Mia Spice Blend will take this to a next level)

Notes
If you're using Italian Herb Balsamic, cut the Italian Herb Mix by 1/2. If you decide to use Mama Mia, eliminate the Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, Italian Seasoning and Fennel.
Basil White Balsamic also creates a great balanced flavor.
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and salt; sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, herb mix, fennel seed, red pepper flakes, and balsamic vinegar.
- Continue to heat until mixture appears slightly syrupy, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and tomato paste.
- Bring back to a simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes.
