There are many excellent pasta sauces on the market, and they can't be beat

for convenience. But they can't compare to a homemade marinara and the

wonderful aroma that will permeate your kitchen as it cooks!

 

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and onion, and saute over

low heat until golden about 2 to 3 minutes.

 

Add all the remaining ingredients except the salt and pepper, and bring

gently to a simmer. Cover and simmer very gently for 30 minutes. Season

to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over hot cooked pasta.
