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
2/3 cup onion, diced
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.

TOMATO AND BASIL PASTA SAUCE



Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce image

A delicious and fresh tasting pasta sauce. The fresh basil added at the end is essential. This sauce can be left chunky (which I prefer) or blended in a food processor to a smooth sauce. Serve spooned over cooked pasta with plenty of parmesan cheese.
