Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the Tomatoes

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. If using, add the red wine. Stir everything together.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

  5. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or sugar according to your preference.
