Time 40m

Yield 9 1/2 -10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 lbs ripe plum tomatoes or 3 (28 ounce) cans crushed plum tomatoes, with their liquid
1/2 cup colavita extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fine sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 -8 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • If using fresh tomatoes, core them, cut them into coarse chunks, and puree them in a food processor, blender, or food mill until smooth. Strain the flesh of canned tomatoes through a fine sieve, to remove skins and seeds. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot, and cook the onion over a medium heat, stirring, until soft.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft. Do not let the garlic brown, or an acid taste will be imparted in the sauce.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use the ripest, most flavorful tomatoes you can find. This will ensure that your sauce has the best possible flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. Be sure to roast them until they are slightly caramelized.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for this sauce. It adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements the tomatoes perfectly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the sauce gently: Once the tomatoes are roasted, simmer the sauce gently for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season to taste: Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Conclusion:

This tomato and basil sauce is a delicious, versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, and vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. The roasted tomatoes give the sauce a rich, smoky flavor that is sure to please everyone.
