Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Heat the Oil

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onion and Garlic

    Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down.

Flavoring the Sauce

  1. 4

    Add Herbs and Seasonings

    Once the tomatoes have broken down, add the fresh basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine well.

  2. 5

    Incorporate Red Wine

    If you're using red wine, pour it into the sauce now. This will enhance the flavor. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the sauce hot over your favorite pasta or dish, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
