In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and
basil. Cover loosely and cook until the vegetables are softened but not browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the roasted red pepper, wine, tomato paste, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, loosely covered. Uncover and simmer for
15 to 20 minutes longer to thicken. Turn off heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

Insert the hand blender into the saucepan, ensuring the protective anti-splash guard is
submerged. Blend, using an up-and-down motion until ingredients are well combined,
approximately 30 to 60 seconds, until the sauce reaches desired consistency.
