KITTENCAL'S MARINARA PASTA SAUCE (VEGETARIAN)
This is a basic simple marinara but big on flavor, it can be ready in 1 hour or you can cook it longer and even tastes better the next day that is why I strongly suggest to make this sauce 1-3 days ahead and refrigerate as the flavors will blend and intensify ---this freezes well so make a double recipe and freeze a batch for the next meal, you may omit the wine but I strongly suggest to add it in, it really adds flavor to the sauce --- please make certain to purchase only good-quality canned Italian Roma (plum) tomatoes for this it will make a huge difference to the flavor of the sauce --- all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste, this sauce can also be simmered for a longer time in a crockpot, throw in some fresh mushrooms also if desired --- also see my recipe#71273

Steps:
- In a heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add in onions, garlic and dried red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the tomato paste and stir for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the Roma tomatoes with juice and wine; simmer uncovered over low heat for 1-2 hours (I usually cook it for at least a couple of hours) stirring occasionally.

- **NOTE** if you prefer a thinner sauce, then add in some water.
