Spicy Marinara Sauce




















4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1. 6 oz can no salt tomato paste
1. 28 oz can no salt crushed tomatoes
3/4 - 1 cup water
1⁄2 cup dry red wine (I used carlo rossi)
4 tbsp sugar or less if this is to sweet for your taste buds
salt to taste

In a food processor, add onions and celery. Add oil to a non-stick frying pan and add onion and celery. Cook until onions are light brown. Mix in garlic and turn off flame. In a tall stockpot, add can crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onion mixture, red wine, sugar, and water. Simmer on very low heat with cover on for 30 minutes. Check sauce to be sure it's not sticking to the bottom of pan in between time.
