Simple Tomato Sauce

A simple marinara sauce for pasta, or when reduced,

a tasty topping for homemade pizzas..

1medium onion (about 4 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces

tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

6garlic cloves

1teaspoon dried oregano

1can (35 ounces) plum tomatoes, with juices

2sprigs fresh basil (10 to 12 large leaves)

¼cup dry white wine

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, to taste, for a spicier sauce)

Makes 4 cups tomato sauce for pasta; 2½ cups 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.
