I'm thinking of something red, thick and can be poured. That's what I think of when I think of tomato sauce, chunky or smooth. Your recipe sounds great, but doesn't sound like it would be a red sauce, or gravy.
If I bought something in the store labeled tomato sauce, and out came veggies, including tomatoes, that had been sauteed in EVOO, I would think they labeled it wrong.
Maybe I should search; homemade tomato sauce from scratch. There must be something that produces a red sauce, other than cooking tomatoes and canning or freezing them.
It IS red. The tomatoes make it red. As for the veggies, there are only 3; minced garlic, finely chopped onions and tomatoes. And the sauce is thick and chunky and can be poured. I guess you're looking for something like a totally liquid sauce that's been strained. Sorry, just trying to help, but I don't know what else to do. Try googling "recipes for tomato sauce."
