SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE
A simple marinara sauce for pasta, or when reduced,
a tasty topping for homemade pizzas.
Makes 4 cups (1 L) tomato sauce for pasta / 2½ cups (625 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 fl akes. 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.
