Simple tomato marinara sauce

Simple tomato marinara sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 small green bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red peppers
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper


In a large pot, heat olive oil until shimmery. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until vegetables are softened. Add the crushed tomatoes, and rinse out the can with a half-cup or so of red wine. Add that to the sauce. Add the hot pepper flakes and herbs. Bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer about a half-hour.

Serves 4.
