Grandma's Tomato Sauce

Grandma’s Tomato Sauce

This is seriously the BEST sauce (and easiest) to make.  The best part about it is I always have the ingredients on hand. 



Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (I actually don't use this)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste, no salt added
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 2 cans (28-oz) whole peeled tomatoes, crushed or pureed in blender or food processor
  • 2 Tbsp agave nectar
  • 1 tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 (3-oz) Parmesan (or parmigiano) cheese rind
  • 3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh basil




Directions:
  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently for 5 to 6 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
  3. Add garlic and tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let tomato paste burn.
  4. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add tomatoes, agave, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low; gently boil, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  6. Add cheese rind; cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
  7. Add basil; mix well.
Tip: Freeze the leftover wine (if you have any!!), stores easily.

So how do you count it?! GREEN!!!
