Ingredients
2tspolive oil
4fresh garlic clovesminced
¼cupred wine
28ozcanned crushed tomatoes
¼cuptomato paste
2tspdry oregano
½tsponion powder
¼tsp salt
2tbspfresh basilminced
Instructions
Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Saute the garlic for about 30 seconds, until slightly golden.
Add the red wine and heat for 1-2 minutes, until reduced by about half.
Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, onion powder, and salt. Stir until combined, then cover and cook on low for 5-6 mintes.
After about 5-6 minutes, uncover and stir in the fresh basil. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before making your pizza! This makes about 30 oz of sauce, or roughly enough sauce for 12 servings/2 large pizzas.
To Freeze:
After the sauce is done cooking, allow to cool completely before freezing. Pour into wide-mouth jars, leaving 1-2 inches of room at the top of each jar to allow it to expand while it freezes.
