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.
