Gordon Ramsay-inspired spaghetti sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes, red wine, garlic, and fresh herbs — rich, rustic, and perfect for pasta.
2 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup finely chopped celery (optional)
1 tbsp tomato paste
28 oz can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1/3 cup dry red wine
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Pinch of sugar (optional)
Handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, 5–6 minutes.
Add garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook another 3–4 minutes.
Pour in wine, simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce.
Stir in tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional sugar.
Stir in basil before serving. Blend if desired for a smoother texture.
