How to Make Fresh Tomato Sauce With Fine Port Wine

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped, to the saucepan. Sauté over low heat for 5-7 minutes, until softened and golden brown.
  3. Add 28 ounces (794g) of crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of dry red port wine, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
  5. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. For a smoother sauce, carefully puree with an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and blend until smooth. (Be cautious when blending hot liquids.)
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite pasta, pizza, or use as a base for other dishes. Enjoy!
