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!

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes (can be pre-seasoned if you like)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
6 -8 whole garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 -4 sprigs fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 -2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 -2 tablespoon dried parsley
1 -2 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
salt, to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
1 (750 ml) bottle merlot

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.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon crumbled sage leaf
4 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup dry white wine (something you would drink)
salt and pepper

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.
