Millie Bonazzo's Pizza Sauce
Source of Recipe
Buddy Cookbook
List of Ingredients
2 cans (35 oz each) whole peeled tomatoes (drain off all liquid)
2 cans (8 oz each) tomato paste
1 onion chopped
5 cloves garlic minced
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2/3 cup red wine
3 to 4 Tbsp. Italian seasoning (I prefer to add basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc. separately, but this is a good simple mixture)
2 dried chili peppers crushed
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
salt to taste
Recipe
Saute onions and garlic in oil over medium heat till onions are transparent.
Add wine and let it reduce a bit. Add everything else and simmer uncovered. Minimum simmering time is 1 hour but I like to let it go for as many as 8.
This should make about 1/2 gallon of sauce, but it will keep for some time (about 2 weeks in the refrigerator or may be frozen - ed.) and gets better and better with age.
Play around with the seasonings, the thing to remember is that a good pizza sauce by itself is quite spicy because it will be subdued by the other ingredients later.
