Thers are 3 simple rules that any Italian grandmother will tell you on how to make a good "gravy".
Rule #1: Less is more! The key to a good sauce is that each ing. should compliment and bring out the flavor in next ing. My sauce consists of only 5 ing.!
Rule #2: It's a fact... the longer you cook the sauce the better it will taste!
Rule #3: Adding meat to youor sauce as TREMENDOUS flavor and thickens it!
Follow these 3 simple rules with my recipe and you will have a new staple recipe in your weekly cooking ;)
Bon Appetit!

Ingredientes
- 2 Cans Crushed Tomatos
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- Few leaves of fresh basil *TIP* during the summer I freeze fresh basil from my basil plant to use in my sauce during the fall and winter*
- 1 Cup of Good Red Wine
- 2 TBS Sugar ( I know some people say it's a nono to add sugar to your sauce but I find that it takes some of the acidity out and leaves a little hint of sweetness)
Direcciones
- On med heat add red wine, garlic, and basil and heat for 2 min.
- Add 2 cans of crushed tomatoes,
- Sprinkle in sugar.
- If you are making meatballs (refer to my meatball recipe!) add browned meatballs/sausage etc.. to sauce, cover and cook for as long as you desire. I find the perfect amount of time is 5-7 hours on a low heat!

12 de Noviembre de 2010I have to try this if only due to the way Cara's Marinara rolls off the tongue. Seriously though, this sounds yummy. We'll try it soon and post our review!
