Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 28 ounces whole tomatoes*
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano packed and chopped
- 2 teaspoon fresh basil packed and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 cup red or white wine
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, sautéing until starting to soften, approximately 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add the tomatoes, cutting coarsely with a paring knife, add the remaining juices from the can, but discard any large pieces of herbs like basil.
- Stir in the tomato paste, oregano, basil, pepper, salt, wine, vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- If you enjoy a chunky sauce, leave as-is and serve it up! If you want a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion hand blender, taking care to blend larger pieces, but not totally juicing it.
