Ingredients

  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion small dice
  • 5 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot peeled and quartered
  • 6 leaves fresh basil
  • 3 28-ounce cans San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 cup white wine
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • In a separate bowl, hand squeeze each tomato breaking it apart.  Run your fingers through to ensure tomatoes have been broken into smaller pieces.  Set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottom sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat.  Sauté onions until they begin to sweat, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and carrots, sauté an additional 3 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine and cook 1 minute longer.  Add tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper.  Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently.  Once sauce comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  • Remove carrots, let cool and store.
