Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel the tomatoes, and cut away and discard the core. Cut each tomato crosswise in half, and remove the seeds. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. There should be about 1 cup.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the butter in a saucepan, and add the onion and garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the tomato cubes and celery. Cook about 2 minutes or until most of the tomato liquid has evaporated. Add the broth, and bring to a boil. Stir in the tomato paste, wine, salt and pepper, and let simmer about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the sauce into the container of an electric blender or food processor, and blend thoroughly. Return the sauce to a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the thyme, and serve.
