Method

How to make Marinara sauce

1) Heat the olive oil in a large (30cm) pan. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.

2) Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.

3) Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.
