Ingredients

    Red Ripe Tomatoes, 24 Italian tomato (approximately 2.5 - 3 quarts fresh, diced
    Garlic, 4-5 cloves, minced
    Celery, raw, 3 stalk, large
    Carrots, raw, 2 large
    Onions, raw, 1 large, rough sliced
    Tomato Paste, 1 can (6 oz)
    Red Wine, 6 fl oz
    Carapelli EVOO, 2 tbsp
    Oregano, ground, 1 tbsp
    Fresh Basil, 2 tbsp
    Salt, 2 tsp
    Granulated Sugar, 2 tsp
    Pepper, black, .5 tsp

Directions

Clean veggies. Rough chop celery, carrot & onion. Put in a food processor & mince.

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.

Makes 11 cups, or 22 1/2-cup servings as reflected in the calorie count.
