Heat olive oil in a pan.

Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery and cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, vinegar, increase the heat and bring it to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Stir in basil, oregano, salt and pepper for about 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors.

Allow it to cool little bit and transfer it to blender and blend.

Use immediately or store the sauce in a clear jar in the fridge (it should keep for up to 2 weeks) or cover and refrigerate for upto 5 days.

Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME. I didn't have Celery, if I add that, I am pretty sure, it will taste even more awesome.
