Ingredients
Directions
Heat a large stovetop pan on medium-high until it’s hot enough that a droplet of water forms a mercury ball (and not just splatters). This will take about a minute or so.
Once the pan is hot enough, add the onions and dry saute them by continuously stirring until they start to soften and brown slightly.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the chile flakes, if using.
At this point, add the vegetable stock to deglaze the pan and let cook for 4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
To finish the sauce, add the tomatoes and cook on low-medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to be sure the tomatoes don’t stick.
Add salt and ground black pepper then remove from heat.
Lastly, stir in the basil and stir to combine.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions
Use red wine vinegar in place of sherry vinegar.
Substitute parsley for basil.
Use yellow onion or shallots in place of white onion.
Make double
While this sauce is enough for two people and it sounds like 9 large tomatoes is a lot, it reduces a lot during cooking. This is enough for two people, however, if you like a generous amount of pasta sauce, then consider doubling the recipe.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
