cooking spray |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup white wine |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |

1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
Directions:

Add tomato paste, oregano, pepper, and tomatoes. Reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat; stir in basil and vinegar. Cool.
2. Note: Nutritional analysis is for 1 1/3 cups Basic Pizza Sauce.
