Maria's Tomato-Basil Spaghetti Sauce

Maria's Tomato-Basil Spaghetti Sauce
  • 8 pounds Roma (plum) tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 sprigs fresh basil, or more to taste, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  1. Puree tomatoes in a food processor until smooth; strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat. Stir strained tomatoes, onion, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, and red wine together in the pot with the oil; season with salt and pepper.
