My Favorite Marinara Sauce image

I've tried a lot of different ways of making spaghetti sauce, and this is the way I do it most often. It has a flavor that can't be beaten, at least not easily. It was originally a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore in a Betty Crocker cookbook, but I've modified it a bunch, so it's just not the same any more - and this tastes better than the original.
