A flavorful and easy-to-make tomato sauce that combines fresh herbs and a hint of wine for a delightful taste.
Prepare the tomatoes by coring and chopping them into chunks. Blend until smooth.
Using fresh tomatoes enhances the flavor, but canned tomatoes work well too.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning.
Add minced garlic to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Avoid overcooking the garlic to prevent bitterness.
Pour in the blended tomatoes and stir well. Add the wine, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The longer you simmer, the richer the flavor becomes.
Stir in the fresh basil and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the basil at the end to preserve its fresh flavor.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite pasta or as a base for other dishes.
Garnish with extra basil leaves for a fresh touch.
