Easy Marinara Sauce image

We built this recipe from a lot of trial and error and a little experimentation with the wine selection. It has a sweet flavor with just a little zing to keep things interesting. Great for all types of italian dishes. We even used it for Italian sausage bombers.

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 Spanish onion, chopped
¼ green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
