Directions
Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the onion, garlic and seasonings for 5 minutes.
Pour the tomatoes into a bowl and mash them up, removing any hard parts.
Add to the pot with the tomato paste, red wine, and butter.
Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
The sauce should be fairly thick when ready.
When you notice the golden oil floating on the top of the sauce it has finished cooking.
Now check the seasonings and you're done.
