What Gordon Ramsay puts in his spaghetti sauce is a rich, slow-simmered Marinara that relies on sweet San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and a healthy pour of red wine.
The ingredients for Gordon Ramsay's spaghetti sauce includes.
2 cans (28 oz each) peeled San Marzano tomatoes.
1 large yellow onion, julienned6 garlic cloves, sliced thin6 fresh basil leaves, torn.
2 tbsp tomato paste.
1 cup red wine (e.g., Chianti)
1/8 cup of olive oil.
And salt and freshly ground black pepper added to taste.
To make Gordon Ramsay's spaghetti sauce, sweat the romantics by placing a large stockpot over medium-low heat and then add the olive oil.
Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and sweat for 10 to 12 minutes until soft and translucent, but don't let them brown.
Add the sliced garlic and cook for around 3 minutes, but be careful not to burn it and then drop in the torn basil and allow it to wilt for 2 minutes.
Next add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes to remove the raw, metallic taste.
Then deglaze by turning the heat up to medium-high and pour in the red wine.
And scrape up any browned bits from the bottom and allow the wine to reduce by half which takes around 3 to 5 minutes.
Next turn the heat back down to medium-low and dd the San Marzano tomatoes.
Break the tomatoes up with a wooden spoon and allow the entire mixture to cook for 90 minutes and stir occasionally.
Then remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the sauce to the consistency you desire, "from slightly chunky to completely smooth".
And season it with more salt and pepper to your taste.
