Tomato Sauce For Pasta Recipe

	Sprout / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago I found this on an Italian home cooking site and changed some of the measurements around till I had a sauce I liked (so feel free to taste test and create your own!) Great as a base for pasta sauces, or by itself with some parmesan. Thicken it up a bit and its also great as a pizza base.... More Prep:5m Cook:35m Servings:375	Sprout

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lg onion, diced

5 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

1/2 cup red wine (drinking quality - the better the wine, the better the sauce)

1 lg can (800g) crushed tomatoes

salt and pepper to season

Directions

Saute onions on lowest heat and covered, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and basil, recover, and saute a further 5 minutes or so.

Uncover and add the wine. Simmer and reduce about half the liquid. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning.

Simmer a further 15 minutes or so, uncovered, until yum and the right consistancy.
