Instructions:—————————————-

1. In a medium saucepan oil over medium heat; add in onion and saute for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned; add in the garlic and cayenne pepper the last 2 minutes of cooking (the onions must be lightly browned!).

3. Add the the onion/garlic mixture to the prepared sauce; mix until heated through.
