Preparation
|
|
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted red peppers and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the plum tomatoes and grape juice. Using a potato masher, mash the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer the sauce for 30 minutes, stirring often. If a smooth sauce is desired, purée sauce in a blender or food processor. Add hot pepper flakes if using.
Tip: For a healthy choice, serve this sauce over whole wheat pasta.
