Basic Tomato Sauce
Yields about: 1 ½ quarts
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
2–3 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup red or white wine
1 tablespoon dried Greek oregano
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup chicken broth or water
2½ tablespoons fresh basil, coarsely chopped
½–2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
  1. Place a large saucepan over a medium heat. When hot, add the oil.
  2. Add the garlic and cook until lightly toasted, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add the wine to deglaze the pan, and cook until the wine is reduced by about a third,
    about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the oregano, tomatoes, broth or water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until the mixture starts to come together as a sauce,
    about 45 minutes.
  6. Add the basil, salt and pepper.
  7. If you are using this sauce for pasta, place it in a food processor fitted with
    a steel blade or a blender and process until desired consistency.
  8. Cover and refrigerate. (Do not put warm sauce on pizza dough.)
