Insert the metal blade. Pulse to chop the onion and garlic with the oregano, about 10
times. Heat the oil over medium heat in a 2¾-quart saucepan; add the onion, garlic, and
oregano. Cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions begin to soften and the
oregano becomes fragrant. Add the canned tomatoes with their juices, basil sprigs, wine
and salt. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover 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 red pepper fl akes if using.
Using the metal blade, pulse the sauce 15 times for a rustic, chunky sauce, or process for
2 minutes for a smooth sauce. The sauce is now ready to use for pasta. If you want a
sauce for pizza, return the sauce to the pan. Simmer, uncovered, for 40 to 50 minutes to
reduce, stirring now and then. Transfer the reduced sauce to a bowl to cool before using
as a pizza topping. The sauce freezes well.
