ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 cans (28 ounce size) plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn in half
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch sugar

directions

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until it colors slightly but does not burn, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the tomatoes and the wine.

Return the pot to medium heat. Stir in the parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and sugar. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.

Serve immediately or cool and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Or freeze the sauce for later use.
