Description

Marinara is our weeknight go-to. Whenever I make it I always make a double or triple batch. It saves time, effort and money. All good things!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 onion, diced small
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • red wine (optional)
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (32 oz)
  • salt
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper (optional)


Instructions

  1. Saute the onion in olive oil until soft. If you have some red wine around, add about a half cup to the softened onions and let it simmer for about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add crushed tomatoes and salt. Let simmer about 15-20 minutes.
  3. If using, add crushed red pepper and let simmer another 5 minutes.
