Listen up, everyone...trust me when I say, start by browning the tomato paste in a bit of oil. Keep the heat at a medium/low level and don't leave it unattended. Aim for a deep brick red color to enhance the flavor. This step will revolutionize your dish. The rest is up to your personal preferences. Any brand will do, as they all contain tomatoes with the water extracted.

Rewritten review: Since I don't own a food processor, I improvised by mashing diced tomatoes thoroughly and incorporating some tomato puree. I sautéed the onions and utilized all the ingredients as directed. I will definitely be making this dish again! It turned out absolutely delicious.

Served as a fantastic foundation for a basic marinara sauce, but I plan to make some adjustments next time. Met my needs satisfactorily.

Oh wow, this dish is delicious! I recommend reducing the amount of oil slightly and including a generous pinch of basil, a small pinch of red pepper flakes, and a bit more garlic for added flavor. Adding a couple of larger chunks of green pepper really enhances the taste. It's incredibly tasty and simple to make.

I've made this recipe twice now. The first time, I followed the original recipe but omitted the wine. It was delicious, but I thought it had a bit too much oil for me. The second time, I stuck to the original recipe but without the wine, and added 1 tsp of basil while reducing the oil from 6 tbsp to 3 tbsp. This version suited my taste better, but I'm considering adding a bit more basil and oregano next time to enhance the flavors even further.
