Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
2 (28-ounce) cans whole Italian plum tomatoes, with their juices
3 whole heads roasted garlic, cloves removed from peels

Directions

In a large saucepan saute the onion in the olive oil over medium-high heat until soft and lightly golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, salt, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning, and basil, and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you place them in the pan, and their juices. Stir to combine well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a slow simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the roasted garlic cloves and stir to combine. Continue to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes longer, or until the flavors have come together.

Serve over pasta of choice.

Excellent with a couple of modifications
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Served this last night at a dinner party, and it was off the hook!!!! I made a couple of changes from reading the reviews... here: Can't have too much garlic - I roasted 5 bulbs with a few drops of olive oil. Garlic just squeezed out into the sauce. Also, I added a cup of Cabernet and another 14 oz. of crushed tomatoes. Easy on the hot sauce and pepper - it does have that Emeril kick to it. Fantastico!!!Read more

I will never purchase ready made pasta sauce again. I fixed this recipe and added chicken was an absolute delight, as well... as being easy to prepare. Read more

So Fresh and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This pasta sauce was so easy to make! We didn't follow the recipe exactly because we didn't have all the ingredients, like... the can of tomatoes, and we substituted fresh tomatoes for the canned ones. The recipe came together really quickly that way. If your looking for a simple, quick and healthy recipe, this is the one to try! Read more

BAM!!....WOW
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is going to be my new pasta sauce recipe. I finally found a recipe that I really like. The sauce is really thick and... the roasted garlic is key. I can hardly wait to serve my family on Christmas. I'm not going to tell anyone that this is a new reciipe, I'm just going sit back and wait for the rave reviews. I may even share the recipe....NOT!! Going forward this recipe is going to be known as Babs' Pasta Sauce. Thanks Emeril.Read more
