Steps:
- In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. When water comes to a boil, add pasta, stirring constantly for the first minute to help prevent spaghetti from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a large saute pan, heat oil. When almost smoking, add olives and red pepper flakes. Saute for 3 minutes over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and carefully pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Drain pasta in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the sauce and toss to coat completely. Add pasta water if you need to thin out the sauce a bit. Plate pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and basil.
- In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
- Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
- If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add olives, chopped onion, chopped garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté until onion begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and stir until tomatoes are just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Mix in red wine vinegar. Add cooked pasta, 1 cup Parmesan cheese and fresh basil and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Serve with remaining Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Select the Ripest Tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Roast the Tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. This step is optional but highly recommended for a richer sauce.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add a burst of flavor to the sauce. Use them sparingly to avoid overpowering the other ingredients.
- Add a Touch of Acid: A squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of red wine vinegar brightens up the sauce and balances the sweetness of the tomatoes.
- Don't Overcook the Sauce: Tomato sauce should be simmered gently for a short time, just long enough to meld the flavors. Overcooking can result in a bland, watery sauce.
- Season to Taste: Always taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until you reach the desired flavor.
Conclusion:
This fresh tomato sauce with olives is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, or vegetables. The roasting of the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness, while the olives add a briny, savory flavor. With its vibrant color and bold flavor, this sauce is sure to be a hit at your next meal. Enjoy!
