Ingredients

    1 28 oz. Can Whole Tomatoes (Can use Diced for a Chunkier Sauce)
    1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
    2 Cloves Garlic
    1/2 Cup Red Wine
    1/2 Pound (1 Ball) Buffalo Mozzarella, Shredded (Put in freezer for about 10 minutes before shredding to ease process)
    4 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Basil

Directions

Makes 16 2-oz servings.

Blend Can of tomatoes in blender until smooth. (I use whole tomatoes instead of tomato sauce because I like the flavor a bit better but you can skip this step and use a can of tomato sauce or diced tomatoes if you like.)
In a saucepot, Saute garlic in olive oil over medium heat about 3 minutes. Add red wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add blended tomatoes and basil. Cover pot and cook for 5 minutes. Add shredded mozzarella and stir until mozzarella begins to melt. I make this when I'm making pasta and then freeze the leftover sauce. Enjoy!
