Ingredients
- 1 large onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 4- 28 oz cans whole peeled tomatoes
- 6 oz can tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 4 tsp kosher salt
- handful fresh basil leaves cut or torn
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the broth (or water), red wine, onion, and garlic. Bring to a boil and simmer 3-5 minutes or until the onions begin to soften.
- Add the tomato paste and stir, add the whole peeled tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and salt.
- Bring to a simmer and then reduce to low heat. Cook for an hour, stirring every so often to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the heat and, using a potato masher, crush the tomatoes to your desired consistency. Alternatively, use a stick blender to puree the sauce to your desired consistency. I prefer it somewhat chunky.
- Add the basil and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
