I could eat marinara and pasta every day! This is a 30 minute sauce. Thirty minutes from start of prep to presentation. This is the way I do it. Customize your ingredients and measurements to make it to your tastes and enjoy with some hot pasta. YES, please!

How To Make busy night classic marinara

1
Pour tomatoes into a bowl and crush with your hands to release the juices.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium high heat. Cook onion until softened and translucent, 8-10 minutes. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
3
Add tomatoes to saucepan. Stir in pepper flakes, oregano, salt, red wine (if using) and brown sugar.
