Basic tomato sauce recipe

This is what I sent my kids to try,home made and delicious marinara sauce.
I know my kids love pasta and the Dave's are culinary chefs in the making so I am sharing a interesting home made recipe for tomato sauce.
As I learnt from my research on veggie wisdom highest lycopene is present in canned tomatoes and cooking tomatoes increases lycopene content.
So, you can take a big can of tomatoes and add to it about 2 tablespoonful of tomato paste and then add fresh basil ,salt and pepper to taste.
Adding some Extravirgin olive oil ,garlic or caramel zed onions increase the taste.
Basically in a big stainless steel pot you can cook these ingredients over 20 minutes on low heat or in a slow cooker on hi heat over3 hours.
Caramelization of onions is done separately in warmed up olive oil adding chopped onions till they become glistening,and then add to the tomato sauce.
This is our marinara sauce.
Luv,mom
