Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup white wine
  • 2 29-ounce cans tomato sauce substitute San Marzano, crushed or puréed tomatoes
  • cup tomato paste about ½ of a 3-ounce can
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large heavy bottom pot or a large deep-sided pan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in white wine and let reduce for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the ⅓ cup tomato paste, 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir to incorporate tomato paste and spices, the mixture should be thick.
  • Stir the tomato sauce into the pan, incorporating the sauce with the paste and spices completely. Cook while stirring until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately or let cool and transfer to storage containers for later use!

Notes

  • Substitute 1 can of tomato sauce for crushed, diced, or hand crushed san marzano tomatoes (with the juice) for a more textured sauce.
  • Allow to cool before storing.
  • Follow proper instructions if canning sauce.
