Tomato and Basil Sauce

1. 1

   If using fresh tomatoes, core them, cut them into coarse chunks, and puree them in a food processor, blender, or food mill until smooth.

2. 2

   Strain the fresh or canned tomatoes through a fine sieve to remove the skins and seeds.

3. 3

   Set aside.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot and cook the onion over medium heat, stirring, until soft.

5. 5

   Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft.

6. 6

   Do not let the garlic brown or an acrid taste will be imparted to the sauce.

7. 7

   Pour in the tomatoes and wine and stir to combine.

8. 8

   Add the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
