Absolutely agree. It sounded disgusting!
Much easier, learned in Sicily.
One onion, cut very finely
2/3 cloves garlic, ditto
good glug of olive oil
sweat them on very low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so
add a load of tomatoes (skin removed, do this by blanching in hot water for 60 seconds)
tomato puree (2 or 3 tbsp)
large glass red wine
good handful of fresh basil
teaspoon of sugar
good pinch of salt
big grind of pepper
let simmer on very low heat for 2 hours, stirring every 30 mins
add some more fresh basil at the end
that's it. learned from Italian in Sicily.
