CLASSIC RED SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 red onion, medium-diced
3 cloves garlic, cut into chunks
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
1 pound penne or spaghetti, cooked until al dente

Steps:

  • Puree the tomatoes to a smooth, creamy consistency in a food processor or with an immersion blender. (If you like a more country feel, you can wait and break them up in the pan later with a wooden spoon.)
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. When hot, add the onion and saute 5 to 6 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until you see the color start changing. If you'd like to make the sauce spicy, add the red pepper flakes.
  • Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer about 30 minutes. (If you did not puree the tomatoes, use a wooden spoon to break them into pieces while they cook.) Strive for balance in the consistency of the sauce: It has to be fluid, but it should not look overly wet. Add the basil and remove from the heat. Toss with just-cooked pasta.

Tips:

- **Mise en place:** Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling. - **Toast the spices:** Toasting the spices in hot oil or ghee before adding them to the sauce will help to release their flavor and aroma. - **Use fresh ginger and garlic:** Fresh ginger and garlic add a lot of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use dried, but it won't be as flavorful. - **Use a good quality soy sauce:** Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with natural ingredients and has a rich, savory flavor. - **Simmer the sauce:** Simmering the sauce for a while will help to meld the flavors together and create a rich, complex sauce. - **Taste the sauce as you go:** Don't be afraid to taste the sauce as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. ###

This Asian red sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for stir-fries, noodles, rice, and even as a dipping sauce.
