Preparation

In a saucepan at medium heat, add the olive oil and cook onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Add the white wine and continue cooking 1 minute.
Add the rest of the ingredients, season with pepper then stir well. Simmer for 15 minutes while stirring often.
Remove from heat and blend. Let cool down entirely before using on your pizza! I suggest freezing the sauce in ice cubes. One ice cube is about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and I usually use 2-3 tablespoons (45 ml) for a medium pizza.
