    In a food processor place Italian tomatoes & 1/2 tomato paste, then add chopped parsley, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  • 2
    In a large skillet over medium heat saute the finely chopped onion in olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the blended tomato sauce with remaining sauce and white wine.

    Simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. When almost finished get your jars and taps ready.
