Directions: If you're using fresh tomatoes, you'll need to roast them first to peel the skin. Cut them in half, length wise. Place face down on a roasting pan or cookie sheet and roast on 425 for about 10-12 minutes. Cool for a
2
minute or two, and peel them (this will be very easy), discarding the peel. Cut off the stem/top. If you're using canned tomatoes you can obviously skip this step but I just thought I would make sure you knew this.
3
In a large pot or dutch oven, bring the olive oil to medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and onion. Cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 more minutes. Add in the white wine, and cook until reduced. Next
4
add the balsamic and cook until liquid is reduced. Add in the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper. Add in about 1/2 the teaspoon of sugar. Let the mixture simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
5
Prior to finishing or serving the sauce, make sure you don't need more salt or pepper, or sugar. If you want a pureed sauce, blend with your immersion blender, or pour the contents into a blender. Add the basil in just before

serving.
