SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE
Makes about 5 cups
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup dry white wine
3 pounds plum tomatoes (about 12 whole),
pressed*
2 sprigs fresh basil
¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
Put the oil into a large saucepan set over
medium-low heat. Once hot, add the garlic,
onion, oregano, salt and pepper. Sauté until
garlic is fragrant and onion is softened.
Add the wine and stir to combine. Allow to
cook down slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add
the tomatoes (pressed in the Cuisinart Fruit
& Vegetable Press), basil and red pepper (if
using). Bring to a boil and then reduce to a sim-
mer, cover slightly and allow to cook for about
40 minutes, longer if a thicker sauce is desired.
Remove the basil sprigs and discard. Taste and
add sugar as needed (this will depend on the
flavor of the tomatoes that you are using. You
may not need any sugar if your tomatoes are in
peak season).
*If blanching, coring and peeling first, the yield
may be slightly less than 5 cups.
