Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • Olive Oil
  • 11 garlic cloves (roughly chopped)
  • ½ onion (roughly chopped)
  • 2 cans tomato sauce (15 ounce cans)
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounce can)
  • 11 basil leaves
  • 6 tablespoons oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian season blend
  • ½ teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 cup of dry white wine (divided)
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Add about one tablespoon of olive oil to a large saucepan. Heat olive oil on medium high heat.
  • Once the olive oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and onions. Sauté the garlic and onion for about one minute. Turn the heat down to medium.
  • Next, add the cans of tomato sauce, the can of diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and the white sugar to the pan.
  • Then, stir in a ½ cup of wine into the sauce.
  • Salt and pepper the marinara sauce to taste. At this point you can use the handheld blender to blend the sauce to get a smooth consistency if you don’t like chunky sauce.
  • Cook the sauce on medium low heat for about 40 minutes to an hour.
  • Make sure to stir the sauce from time to time while the sauce cooks.
  • After the sauce has cooked, remove the sauce from heat, and add the other ½ cup of white wine.
