Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion finely diced (¾ cup chopped or 100g)
- 3 garlic cloves finely minced
- ½ cup red wine
- 29 oz. crushed fire roasted tomatoes or tomato puree
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 ½ cup water 350ml
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
Instructions
- Pour the olive oil into a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring around the saucepan until softened and slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add wine to the onion and garlic, lowering the heat to the lowest setting.
- Simmer for about five minutes, or until the alcohol has cooked off. The mixture will look almost jammy at this point.
- Add the crushed fire roasted tomatoes (or tomato puree), tomato paste and the water to the pan, stirring to combine.
- Next, measure in the salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, chopped fresh basil and chopped fresh oregano. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. The longer this simmers, the better, so you could let this sit on the stove all day and eat it at night, and it would be amazing.
- Serve when ready with your favorite pasta noodles, as a base sauce on pizza or a dipping sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
- How to store and freeze:
- This recipe will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container after you let it cool completely.
- To freeze the sauce, transfer to a freeze-safe food container or ice cube trays. I love SouperCubes* (affiliate link) and will transfer them to freezer bags. Freeze until solid.
- Defrost in the refrigerator, then toss with pasta or use it on pizza, etc.
