Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 chopped white onion

3 finely chopped cloves of garlic

1/3 cup red wine 

(I used Merlot. It's a blue/white label. Brand is Barefoot)

7 cups of canned crushed tomatoes

15 oz. of tomato paste

1 tbsp of dried basil

2 tsp of dried oregano

Salt and pepper as needed

Noodles (How many depending on how many people your serving)

*In a large pot heat up the olive oil over medium heat.

*Cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil till they turn translucent (about 5 minutes).

*Add the wine, sturing occasionally (about 3 minutes)

*Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried basil & oregano. 

*Put in salt and pepper as needed. I found I needed more pepper than salt. 

The sauce was really sweet at first so I also added more basil. I'm sure it was because of the wine I used. The recipe said to use Chianti but I couldn't find it at the store.

*I cooked the sauce for about 1 hour. High heat for a few minutes then low heat. I switched between the two and stirred often. It tasted better the longer it sat.

The recipe said the sauce would serve 6. I would say it could serve at least 10.
