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.
