Ingredients
The following ingredients have 1 Servings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (roughly chopped)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (smashed and peeled)
- 1½ teaspoons dried basil (or 3 tablespoons fresh basil sliced thin)
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry wine
- 5 tablespoons hot pepper tomato paste (I use Delallo)
- 1 cup water (or more for more of a pasta sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or more to taste (optional))
Instruction
- In a small food processor finely mince the onion and garlic together.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low. Once hot add onion/garlic mixture and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add in basil and cook for 1 minute. Pour in sherry and cook for another minute or so. Measure and add in the paste and whisk into the onions and garlic, cooking for one more minute. Whisk in water, salt, sugar, pepper and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer, reduce to low and reduce until thick. About 5-8 minutes.
