Excellent Marinara Sauce
- Reviews 3
Ready In: 4 hrs 30 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 medium onions, chopped (3 to 4)
- 1⁄2 cup dry red wine
- 6 garlic cloves, crushed with the blade of a knife
- 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
- 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Heat oil in a Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sauté onions for 30-45 minutes, or until sweet and caramelized.
- As the pan dries while onions are cooking, add red wine as needed. Once onions are done, continue to add the rest of the ingredients.
- Stir until well-combined. Simmer over low heat for 4-6 hours (you can simmer for less, but I would simmer for at least 1-2 hours). Stir often to keep the sauce from burning or getting overcooked.
- Makes about 9 cups of sauce.
