Feel free to experiment with different vegetables based on what you have on hand or what's in season. Zucchini, mushrooms, or eggplant would all be excellent additions. For a smoother sauce, blend it thoroughly. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, blend it only partially. This sauce freezes beautifully! Store it in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or oregano as needed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. If you don't have red wine on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of vegetable broth or water.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepAdd the diced carrots and bell peppers. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
03
StepIntroduce the diced onions and garlic to the pot. Continue to sauté until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
04
StepIncorporate the tomato paste, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. (1 minute)
05
StepPour in the red wine, increasing the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, deglazing the pan. Reduce heat to low.
06
StepAdd the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. (2 minutes)
07
StepAllow the sauce to simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
08
StepUsing an immersion blender or a traditional blender (working in batches), carefully blend the sauce to your desired consistency.
09
StepFor an even richer and more developed flavor, simmer the blended sauce for at least 1 hour, or longer if time allows. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will deepen and intensify.
