Savory Homemade Marinara Sauce: A Delicious Recipe to Try

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons of fragrant olive oil
• 1 finely chopped Spanish onion
• ¼ of a vibrant green bell pepper, chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons of rich brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of flavorful Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons of sea salt
• 1 teaspoon of aromatic dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of fragrant dried basil
• ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon of spicy red pepper flakes
• 4 cans of diced tomatoes (each can weighing 14.5 ounces)
• 1 can of tomato sauce (14 ounces)
• 2 cans of concentrated tomato paste (each can weighing 6 ounces)
• 1 cup of crisp white wine

Step 1

Warm up some olive oil in a spacious pot on medium heat. Stir in the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until the onion turns translucent, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle in an array of brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Continue stirring until the brown sugar melts and the mix releases an enticing aroma, for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2

Merge the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and a splash of white wine into the savory onion mixture. Let it all come to a gentle boil for roughly 10 minutes. Lower the heat and let it simmer, giving it a good stir every now and then until all the flavors harmonize, which should take at least 30 minutes.
