Ingredients

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion diced
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp dried crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 28 oz can crushed Italian tomatoes (See Note 1)
• 2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley chopped

Instructions

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium-high flame and add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the wine, tomato paste, sugar, Italian Seasoning, red pepper flakes and salt and sauté for 2 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, stir and simmer until reduced slightly, about 20 minutes. Season the sauce with more salt to taste. Stir in fresh chopped parsley and use over any pasta dish or meatballs.

Notes

1. I use San Marzano crushed tomatoes or whole (drain is using whole) and crush with my hands into the sauce. Using canned diced tomatoes or a tomato puree just has extra water. If you prefer to use fresh tomatoes, I use Roma (plum) tomatoes, they are meatier and it's best to buy 2 pounds for this recipe.
