Add the oil to the pot and heat on a low flame. And your garlic and onion and continue to cook over low heat. Let it simmer until the ingredients are translucent (about 7 minutes), and then add the jars or cans of crushed tomatoes. Then add the red peppers.
Once your tomatoes are in the pot, add all of your dried spices, the wine, and the tomato paste and let simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until your pepper chunks are soft and the sauce has a thicker consistency.
About 10 minutes before you take the sauce off the stove, toss in the handful of fresh basil. When the sauce is finished, let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then add generously to a bowl of cooked pasta. Or if you’re like me, add some pasta to the bowl of sauce.
