A delightful marinara sauce made with fresh ingredients for a rich and flavorful experience.
Prepare the tomatoes by washing and chopping them into quarters.
If using canned tomatoes, skip this step and proceed to blending.
Blend the tomatoes until smooth using a blender.
For a chunkier sauce, pulse the blender instead of blending continuously.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour the blended tomatoes into the pot and stir well.
Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate all flavors.
Add the white wine and sea salt, then simmer the sauce uncovered for 30 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pot.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves and remove the pot from heat.
Tear the basil leaves by hand to release more aroma.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite pasta or as a dip.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
