SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE
A simple marinara sauce for pasta, or when reduced,
a tasty topping for homemade pizzas.
Makes 3 cups (750 ml) tomato sauce for pasta / 1¾ cups
(425 ml) tomato sauce for pizza.
Approximate preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes,
plus 1 hour cooking (cook an additional 40 minutes to
make the reduced pizza sauce)
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large
work bowl of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Add the
onion and pulse to chop, about 10 times. Put the olive
oil into a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat. When the
oil shimmers across the pan, add the onion. With the
processor running, drop the garlic through the feed tube
to chop. Add the garlic and oregano to the pan. Cook
until onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant. While
the onion mixture is cooking, add the tomatoes to the
work bowl and pulse to chop. Add the tomatoes to the
pan with the basil, wine and salt. Bring to a boil and then
reduce the heat to low, cover the pan loosely and
simmer for 50 to 60 minutes. Turn off the heat and let
cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Stir in the black pepper
and optional red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust
seasoning accordingly.
If you would like a sauce for pizza, continue to simmer,
uncovered, for 40 additional minutes to reduce, stirring
now and then. Transfer the reduced sauce to a bowl to
cool before using as a pizza topping.
This sauce freezes well.
