Marinara Sauce

Ingredients:

2-3 Tbl. Olive Oil
1/2 Vidalia or Yellow Onion- Diced
3 Cloves Garlic- Minced
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
Sprinkle of Italian Seasoning
1 28oz Can of Whole San Marzano Plum Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Dry White Wine
1/2 Cup Chicken Stock
Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper

Saute diced onions in olive oil over medium high heat in a high sided saute pan or pasta pot. Once the onions start to soften, add minced garlic. Saute until garlic begins to brown and onions are translucent. Add pinch of red pepper flakes and a few sprinkles of Italian seasoning. Add San Marzano tomatoes and juice and break apart with a spoon (it is important that you do get the imported San Marzano tomatoes. This makes a huge difference in the flavor of the sauce). Add 1/2 Cup dry white wine and 1/2 Cup chicken stock, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 20-30 minutes so that wine and stock reduce and flavors concentrate. Finish with liberal amount of fresh basil either torn or chopped.

Serve with pasta, grilled bread, calamari, etc.

This recipe doubles very easily.
