Sauce!

So, I tend to have a lot of uses for a good red sauce . This one is super simple and really delicious, and great for recipes that have a lot of other steps.

Shopping list:
1 Yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp Red Pepper flakes
1 12oz can of crushed or chopped tomatoes
1 12 oz can of of tomato sauce
1 cup white wine
1 handful of chopped fresh basil
and as always: salt and fresh ground pepper

Start by chopping the onions and garlic


Sautee them in two tsp. of olive oil along with the red pepper flakes until the onions are translucent


Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and cook down for two or 3 minutes and then add the white wine


simmer for 10 minutes with a lid on and then for another 3 or 4 with the lid off so the sauce can reduce and thicken a bit.
Add chopped basil and salt and pepper to taste.



and that's it!
