This enhanced marinara sauce recipe brings a delightful twist to the classic, offering a rich and flavorful experience.
Heat a saucepan over low heat and add the crushed tomatoes.
Using fresh tomatoes? Blanch and peel them for a smoother sauce.
In a frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Don't let the garlic burn; it can turn bitter.
Add the sautéed garlic to the saucepan with the tomatoes and stir.
Stir gently to evenly distribute the garlic flavor.
In the same frying pan, sauté chopped onion until translucent.
Chop the onion finely for a smoother sauce texture.
Add the sautéed onion to the saucepan and stir.
Mix thoroughly to blend the flavors.
Deglaze the frying pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits, then add to the saucepan.
Let the wine reduce slightly for a more concentrated flavor.
Season the sauce with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, stirring well.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta or use it as a base for other dishes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a vibrant presentation.
