Fennel is the surprise touch here. Something abuot its unexpected flavor often fools people into thinking that this is a meat-based sauce. Ladle over Mushroom and Spinach-stuffed Zucchini, Sun Dried Tomato Polenta Cutlets, or whatever you want!

TOMATO-WINE SAUCE



Tomato-Wine Sauce image

This easy sauce is made with things I always have on-hand. It freezes well so I often double or even triple the recipe, to pull out for busy work-night meals-once you've got the sauce the rest is easy! I'm not sure where I got the recipe, but, I think it was Taste of Home.

RICH AND ZESTY RED WINE TOMATO SAUCE



Rich and Zesty Red Wine Tomato Sauce image

Here is a recipe for a basic tomato sauce made with red wine- great for cheese-filled pastas and relatively easy to make. My fiance also believe this recipe could be prepped in a crockpot and left to sit all day, but I haven't tried that. See the Directions for an alternative spicier version. Enjoy!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes (can be pre-seasoned if you like)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
6 -8 whole garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 -4 sprigs fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 -2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 -2 tablespoon dried parsley
1 -2 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
salt, to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
1 (750 ml) bottle merlot

Steps:

  • In a large pot, sweat the chopped onions and garlic in the olive oil over med-low heat.
  • Add the peeled tomatoes, crushing them with your hands one by one into smaller chunks. Be careful- they squirt all over the place! Make sure to pour in all the liquid in the cans as well. Add all ingredients except salt, cheese, and wine.
  • Stir all ingredients together. Cover, and increase heat to med-high. Simmer/cook 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the sauce doesn't burn on the bottom.
  • Add about 1/3 of the bottle of merlot. Add the cheese. Stir, reduce heat slightly and let that cook uncovered for another 15-20 min, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste and determine if you need salt, and add to taste. For salt with a little tang, add some more cheese, if you have it. Let simmer another 15 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.
  • During the last simmering stage, cook your pasta.
  • Serve over pasta (1 ladleful is gracious plenty). Extra sauce can frozen for up to a month. To reheat, let simmer on low uncovered, stirring frequently so the sugar in the merlot doesn't burn.
  • *Spicy alternative: For a spicier sauce, use shiraz in place of merlot and add 2 tsp of dried red pepper flakes.
