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.
