Fresh Tomato Sauce with Red Wine


Ingredients:

About a quart of fresh cherry tomatoes – halved
1 Sweet Onion – sliced
5 cloves of garlic – crushed and sliced
Quart of fresh button mushrooms – sliced
1 Hot Italian Cherry Pepper – sliced
About a cup of fresh basil
Red pepper flakes
Olive oil
¼ cup red wine
1 box of your favorite spaghetti

Heat a griddle and grill the onion and garlic until the onion and garlic are golden. While the onion and garlic are grilling, heat a large frying pan, drizzle some olive oil and add the tomatoes. Gently smash the tomatoes while they are simmering. Add the onion and garlic to the tomatoes and continue to simmer.

Place the sliced mushrooms on the griddle and let them become golden and then add them to the tomatoes. Place the basil on the griddle and drizzle with a little olive oil and let grill for a second or two and then add to the tomatoes. Add a few dashes of red pepper flakes to the tomatoes and the quarter cup of wine. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes and then set aside.

Prepare the spaghetti and toss with the tomatoes topping this with some more red pepper flakes, olive oil and grated Romano cheese.

You have just created a most memorable meal.

Enjoy with Lots of Love,

Catherine

Red wine does so wonderfully in tomato sauce...especially with fresh tomatoes!

This sounds great. I have a ton of tomatoes to use up at home. They are golden cherry tomatoes which would probably look pretty interesting. Thanks for the recipe.

I too like to add a couple of tablespoons of red wine when making the tomato sauce. Yours looks so fresh and delicious.

Hi Catherine, I just posted a recipe of Shirley's and may be setting up of page for recipes submitted by guest. One of the requirements will be that the recipe uses wine. This tomato sauce recipe sounds delicious and I would like to publish when the page is added. Let me know if that is OK with you. I will link back to your blog when published.
