Add olive oil to a stock pot & heat. Add garlic & saute until fragrant, but NOT browned. Add the processed vegetables & continue to saute for approximately 5 minutes - or until vegetable mix appears tender & is rendering its juices.

Add chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, wine & spices. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to simmer & cook to desired reduction (I cook this for approximately 3 hours).

This marinara is flexible & welcomes red chilies, chopped bell peppers, minced sun-dried tomatoes, meats and/or parmesan cheese.
