makes 3 cups tomato sauce for pasta / 1¾ cups tomato
sauce for pizza.
Approximate preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes,
plus 1 hour cooking (cook an additional 40 minutes to
make the reduced pizza sauce)
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large
work bowl of the Cuisinart
onion and pulse to chop, about 10 times. Put the olive
oil into a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat. When
the oil shimmers across the pan, add the onion. With
the processor running, drop the garlic through the feed
tube to chop. Add the garlic and oregano to the pan.
Cook until onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
While the onion mixture is cooking, add the tomatoes to
the work bowl and pulse to chop. Add the tomatoes to
the pan with the basil, wine and salt. Bring to a boil and
then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan loosely and
simmer for 50 to 60 minutes. Turn off the heat and let
cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Stir in the black pepper
and optional red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust
seasoning accordingly.
If you would like a sauce for pizza, continue to simmer,
uncovered, for 40 additional minutes to reduce, stirring
now and then. Transfer the reduced sauce to a bowl to
cool before using as a pizza topping.
This sauce freezes well.
