Ingredients

1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup good red wine, such as Chianti
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or plum tomatoes in puree, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.

So easy you'll wonder why you did not make it before
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tasty, easy, simple and all of hte ingredients are staples. I think I may have used too large of an onion but it still... tasted wonderful. Cannot beat it and its so easy to make, you'll always make is fresh.... no need to freeze it. I made it tp topn stuffed shells with italian sauage, soo good and I lvoed the chunkiness of it, did not feel or look watered down ata ll. Again.... I have added another one of Ina's recipes to my everyday cooking. Read more

Wonderful Marinara
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making slow cooked tomato sauce for years and quite frankly it is pretty good. However it will be a long time... until I do that again. This marinara is wonderful. Fast, easy and ingredients that you have in the pantry. Ina you have done it again.Read more

This is my second time making this wonderful, quick and easy sauce. We saw the episode featuring it and thought to give it a... try. Boy were we pleased! This time I made a double batch in order to freeze some. You'll love it! Read more

Sandie - It is very disrespectful to use Ina's space to advertise your own recipes and web site. Please respect Food Network... and the other users of this site. Get your own show and grow your own reputation. Ina is THE Contessa.Read more
