Fresh tomato sauce with red wine

Heat a griddle and grill the onion and garlic until the onion and garlic are golden. While the onion and garlic are grilling, heat a large frying pan, drizzle some olive oil and add the tomatoes. Gently smash the tomatoes while they are simmering. Add the onion and garlic to the tomatoes and continue to simmer.

Place the sliced mushrooms on the griddle and let them become golden and then add them to the tomatoes. Place the basil on the griddle and drizzle with a little olive oil and let grill for a second or two and then add to the tomatoes. Add a few dashes of red pepper flakes to the tomatoes and the quarter cup of wine. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes and then set aside.

Prepare the spaghetti and toss with the tomatoes topping this with some more red pepper flakes, olive oil and grated Romano cheese.
