For a richer flavor, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick to the sauce. If you don't have red wine on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vegetable broth or water, but the wine adds depth of flavor. This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2-3 months.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced tomatoes, water, red wine, tomato paste, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, oregano, sage, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low. (10 minutes)
03
Step
1 hrs
Simmer the sauce gently, uncovered, until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
04
Step
15 mins
Once the sauce has simmered, carefully transfer it in batches to a blender. Cover the blender with the lid, holding it down firmly with a kitchen towel, and pulse a few times to break up the vegetables. Then, blend on high speed until smooth. Pour the blended sauce into a clean pot. (15 minutes)
05
Step
0 mins
Alternatively, for a chunkier sauce, use an immersion blender directly in the pot to partially purée the sauce to your desired consistency.
06
Step
2 mins
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference. (2 minutes)
07
Step
0 mins
Serve the Pomodoro Pasta Sauce hot over your favorite pasta shape, such as spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an extra touch of flavor.
