Basic Pizza Sauce

By Bostoncook

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 can crushed tomatoes (14.5-ounce) undrained
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Stir in wine; cook 30 seconds. Add tomato paste, oregano, pepper, and tomatoes. Reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until thick.

2. Remove from heat; stir in basil and vinegar. Cool.

Notes: Great! Got a bit thick, but easily fixed. Used dried basil; fresh would be nice.
