Sugo di pomodoro fatto in casa e veloce (con pomodori in scatola)

Ingredienti

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cups finely chopped white or yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• kosher salt
• Pinch crushed chili flakes
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 28-oz can of peeled whole San Marzano tomatoes, see notes above
• 1/2 cup (packed) fresh basil (about 1/2 ounce)

Preparazione

1. 1

   In a medium pot, combine the oil, onions, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt. Turn the heat to high. As soon as the onions and garlic begin simmering, give them a stir, turn the heat to low, and cover the pot. Cook for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Uncover the pot, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, stir once or twice, raise the heat to high; then add the wine. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until the alcohol smell dissipates.

3. 3

   Add the tomatoes. Using scissors, snip the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Season with a generous pinch of salt, and cook at a gentle simmer for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor. Add the basil. Purée until smooth. Taste and adjust with more salt if necessary. (Alternatively use an immersion blender to purée)
