Nick Stellino Recipe: Tomato Sauce

Blend your favorite brand of Italian style peeled tomatoes in a blender.

Add extra virgin olive oil to your favorite saucepan.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and thickly sliced garlic, cooking for less than a minute until it starts to brown.

Add chopped white onions and fresh basil, reduce heat to medium, and cook for about three to four minutes until onions are translucent.

Add salt, black pepper, and a little pinch of sugar.

Add the blended tomatoes, using a spoon to break the fall to avoid splashing.

Stir well and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.

Cook and re-simmer for 35 to 40 minutes until the sauce has reduced to the perfect consistency.

Allow the sauce to come down to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
