4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh garlic

2 tablespoons Italian-style tomato paste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
*Substitute 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves.
STEP 1
Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan until sizzling; add onion and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes or until onion is softened.
STEP 2
