  • 2 medium onions, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Oregano

Instructions
  1. Directions for Roasted Sauce
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In shallow pans spread tomatoes (I use parchment paper in the bottom, but you can use aluminium foil or just spray the pan). Sprinkle the onions, garlic. herbs, salt and pepper over the tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently.
  4. Bake 2 to 3 hours -- This is very flexible and depends how you much browning you like on your tomatoes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly so you can handle them and run them through a food mill into a large sauce pan. Add the cup of white wine and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Directions for Stovetop Sauce
  6. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool enough to handle and run through a food mill. Return to large sauce pan, add white wine and simmer 1 hour.
