Prepare the onion and garlic by finely chopping them.

Turn on the fan and set the heat to medium.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large frying pan.

Add the finely chopped shallot onion and fry until they become a bit soft, about 1 minute.

Add the finely chopped garlic and mix well, cooking for about 30 seconds to infuse the flavor without burning it.

Add the fresh green chili to the pan, adjusting the amount based on desired spiciness.

Add the canned chopped tomatoes to the pan, mixing everything together and letting it simmer for about 2 minutes.

Add dried parsley, dried basil, a pinch of salt, and mixed peppercorns to taste, stirring everything well together.

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 3 minutes.

Taste the sauce for salt and pepper, adjusting as needed.

If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend it to achieve a creamy texture; otherwise, leave it chunky.

Before turning off the heat, add fresh parsley and basil leaves to the sauce.

Transfer the sauce to a bowl for use on pizza.
