My daughter learned this recipe while taking cooking classes....i found the sauce very light and fragrant.
Steps

Add the onions and saut until softened.
Add smashed garlic and cook for about two minutes.
Turn the heat down to medium low , and add the fresh and dry herbs.
Cook for two or three minutes.

When the sauce has reduced by a quarter , remove the pot from the heat and blend the sauce with an immersion blender until smooth.
