Cooking instruction summary:
Instructions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saut for 3 minutes, then add the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of the fresh basil (or teaspoon dried), and oregano, and saut for 1 minute. Add the white wine vinegar and saut for 1 minute, then carefully add the tomatoes, salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Reduce the heat, cover, and allow the mixture to simmer, lightly bubbling, for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired (if you want a spicier dip, add more red pepper flakes!). Spoon the tomato sauce into shallow baking dishes or ramekins, then add dollops of goat cheese. Bake until the cheese is warmed through, about 15 minutes. If desired, broil for a minute or two to brown the top of the cheese. Let the dip cool for a few minutes, then top with the remaining 1 teaspoon fresh basil (optional) and a light drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm, with crusty bread on the side.
