Ingredients
Instructions
Warm the oil a large saucepan over medium heat. Add in the onion and cook until softened, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and crushed chili flakes and cook for another minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the wine, if using, and cook for 2 minutes. Then add in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper, stir well to combine. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Stir in the sugar and basil and cook for another 15 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat allow to slightly cool before using it in the baked ziti. Sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge until needed.

My husband said this was the best sauce he’s ever tasted. Definite keeper!! Thank you!!
Made exactly as written! Came out great and my kids especially loved it!
This is an excellent recipe! The wine and red pepper flakes made the sauce perfect in my opinion. I added a small can of petite tomatoes just because I like my sauce a little chunky. This will be my go-to recipe for stuffed shells from now on.
My whole family loved this recipe! I doubled the pepper flakes because we like a spicy sauce.
These stuffed shells are incredibly delicious and very rich! Comfort food recipe for sure.
Amazing stuffed shells! Can I freeze them?
My aunt asked if I would make stuffed shells for her birthday and I remembered you had a recipe. Omg Ashley! These are so good! My aunt loved them.
My mom made this for me when I came home from the hospital with my baby. It was the best meal I've ever had! Gooey cheese, perfect sauce, chewy pasta. So yummy!
My husband and I made these last night (we could not find pasta shells so we used manicotti instead), and it turned out SO CRAZY good, just like the title says. Highly recommend this recipe. We will definitely be making this again. Thank you, Ashley!
delicious
Makes these for dinner twice last week! So delicious and easy to make! I made it at home one night then made it at work for my students. They helped me prep and cook and all really enjoyed it as well!
