Easy Marinara Sauce

I always make a double batch of this because if you cook it down more it makes a great pizza sauce or dip for crusty french bread. Note: I like to use canned tomatoes because unlike most tomatoes you buy at the store, they are picked fresh and canned with fresh tomato flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 28 oz cans of whole tomatoes shopping list
- 2 cans diced tomatoes with garlic and oregano shopping list
- 1 can tomato paste shopping list
- 2 cups red wine shopping list
- 2 onions ~ diced shopping list
- 4 cloves garlic ~ minced shopping list
- 3 bay leaves shopping list
- 1 tsp rosemary shopping list
- 2tsp marjoram shopping list
- 3tbs sugar shopping list
- 2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1/2 stick of butter shopping list
How to make it
- over medium low heat sweat onions and garlic in a small amount of the butter
- add tomatoes breaking up the whole ones with your fingers (I leave them nice and chunky)
- add wine and bay leaves
- simmer at least an hour over medium heat, stirring often.
- When your sauce has thickened to desired consistency add sugar, salt, rosemary, marjoram and the rest of your butter, cook 5 more minutes.
- Dont forget to find the bay leaves and yank them out.
- Serve with spaghetti, rigatoni, add ground beef-anything you want, this sauce is super versatile.
