RICH AND ZESTY RED WINE TOMATO SAUCE
Here is a recipe for a basic tomato sauce made with red wine- great for cheese-filled pastas and relatively easy to make. My fiance also believe this recipe could be prepped in a crockpot and left to sit all day, but I haven't tried that. See the Directions for an alternative spicier version. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large pot, sweat the chopped onions and garlic in the olive oil over med-low heat.
- Add the peeled tomatoes, crushing them with your hands one by one into smaller chunks. Be careful- they squirt all over the place! Make sure to pour in all the liquid in the cans as well. Add all ingredients except salt, cheese, and wine.
- Stir all ingredients together. Cover, and increase heat to med-high. Simmer/cook 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the sauce doesn't burn on the bottom.
- Add about 1/3 of the bottle of merlot. Add the cheese. Stir, reduce heat slightly and let that cook uncovered for another 15-20 min, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and determine if you need salt, and add to taste. For salt with a little tang, add some more cheese, if you have it. Let simmer another 15 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.
- During the last simmering stage, cook your pasta.
- Serve over pasta (1 ladleful is gracious plenty). Extra sauce can frozen for up to a month. To reheat, let simmer on low uncovered, stirring frequently so the sugar in the merlot doesn't burn.
- *Spicy alternative: For a spicier sauce, use shiraz in place of merlot and add 2 tsp of dried red pepper flakes.
TOMATO-WINE SAUCE
This easy sauce is made with things I always have on-hand. It freezes well so I often double or even triple the recipe, to pull out for busy work-night meals-once you've got the sauce the rest is easy! I'm not sure where I got the recipe, but, I think it was Taste of Home.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the tomatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to splatter.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
- Add a splash of red wine. This will give the sauce a rich, complex flavor. Use a dry red wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
