Servings: 3 cups sauce
Ingredients
- 1 28- oz can whole or crushed tomatoes or 10-12 whole tomatoes, peeled
- 1 small can tomato sauce
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine
- 1 Tbs. honey or agave optional
- garlic powder 1 tsp. or more, to taste
- 1/2 Tbs. dried or 1 Tbs. fresh oregano
- 1 Tbs. dried or 2 Tbs. fresh basil leaves
- 1-2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- This recipe is easily made in a blender or food processor or in a large bowl using an immersion blender.
- Process the can of tomatoes or whole, peeled tomatoes until smooth. For pizza sauce, the sauce should be thicker, so pour the tomatoes through a sieve to drain the excess water.
- Sauté diced onion in oil until lightly browned.
- Pour the processed tomatoes into a saucepan and add the tomato sauce, wine, honey and sautéed onion. Cook over medium heat until warmed through. Add remaining ingredients, tasting until the flavor is pleasing.
- Continue cooking until ready to add to pasta or use for pizza. Otherwise, allow to cool and transfer to a jar, refrigerating for use later.
