Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped onions

(about 1 medium onion)

2 medium garlic cloves -- minced or pressed

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground fennel

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/3 cup red wine

3 cups undrained canned tomatoes -- (28-ounce can)

salt and ground black pepper -- to taste

 

Makes about 3 1/2 cups. Total time: 40 minutes.

 

Our favorite simple tomato sauce-useful, highly flavorful, and velvety

smooth. Fennel is the surprise touch here. We're not sure why, but

something about its unexpected flavor often fools people into thinking that

this is a meat-based sauce. Ladle over Stuffed Manicotti Verde, Mushroom

Spinach Crepes or Mushroom- and Spinach-stuffed Zucchini.

 

In a saucepan, warm the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, sprinkle

with the salt, cover, and saute on very low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or

until the onions are beginning to soften. Add the fennel, oregano, and

basil and cook for another minute. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil.

Whirl the tomatoes in a blender until just pureed and add to the pan.

Cover the sauce and simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring

occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.

 

NOTE: Because these are such useful all-purposes sauces, you may want to

double the recipes-but no need to double the oil. The 2 teaspoons will be

enough! Tightly sealed, they will keep refrigerated for at least a week and

frozen for several months.
