This easy sauce is both simple and delicious. It freezes well and can also be made days ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
Yields 3 cups
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced or 5 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1/4 cup red wine, such as Tuscanini Red Cooking Wine (optional)
45 ounces Tuscanini Crushed Tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, cleaned and chopped
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft, four to five minutes.
Add wine, if using, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook about five minutes, until the liquid reduces by half.
Stir in tomatoes, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
Turn off heat and add basil. Taste, and then add more salt or pepper as needed.
