This hearty herb tomato sauce is perfect for pasta, pizza, or as a base for your favorite dishes.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, as it can turn bitter.
Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and red wine to the saucepan. Simmer uncovered until the tomatoes are soft.
Use a potato masher to gently crush the tomatoes for a smoother texture.
Stir in the brown sugar, tomato paste, basil, parsley, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaves. Simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to balance the flavors.
Remove the bay leaves from the sauce before serving or storing.
Bay leaves are not edible, so ensure they are removed before serving.
Allow the sauce to cool before refrigerating or freezing. Use as desired.
Divide the sauce into portions before freezing for convenient use later.
