Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ cup chopped onion (large chunks)

  • 5 cloves garlic, halved

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree

  • 1 ½ cups red wine

  • ⅛ cup chopped fresh basil

  • ⅛ cup chopped fresh oregano

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add tomato puree, red wine, basil, and oregano. Increase heat a touch and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce reaches desired consistency, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir in butter and sugar; simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

  3. For a smooth sauce, remove onion and garlic pieces before spreading sauce on pizza crust. For a chunky sauce, use as is.
