The Best Marinara Sauce Yet aka Red Sauce

Via Callie Granderson

6 Tbsp. olive oil

1/3 c. finely chopped onion

2-3 garlic cloves minced

(2)  14 oz. cans of stewed tomatoes

(1)   6 oz. can tomato paste

½ c. chicken broth or sweet white wine

1 (rounded) tsp. of brown sugar

1 tsp. fresh oregano (chopped)

1 tsp. fresh basil (chopped)

1 tsp. fresh parsley (chopped)

1 tsp. salt

¼ tsp. black pepper

Instructions:

1.     In deep skillet add olive oil and sauté onion and garlic 2-3 minutes over medium heat.

2.     Add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet and simmer for 30+ minutes.  Use a potato masher to stir occasionally and to press the stewed tomatoes.  (this makes for a nice chunky marinara.)

I like to blend all ingredients in the blender for a smoother marinara.
