  1. Ohhhh so delicious is this ‘red gravy’, as we say here in my neck of the woods. Oh ok, marinara sauce, but political culinary correctness just kills me. Anyway, this one is for the books: My Best of 2017 Cookbook.
     
  2. This is one of the best marinara sauces that I have ever eaten - absolutely delicious. The only changes I made: the can of tomatoes I had in the pantry had sweet onions in them and the tomato paste had basil, garlic & oregano, but I still used the full amount of seasonings called for in the recipe. Also served over spaghetti noodles as I didn't have angel hair. The red wine I used is Barefoot Zinfandel. Definitely a keeper recipe for us! Made for Spring 2012 Pick A Chef.
     
  3. This was delicious, and it was so quickly prepared which is what I enjoyed---no all-day simmering! I thought the amount of the spices used was right on target, and I don't think I would adjust those the next time I make this sauce. Like LainieBug, I served this over spaghetti noodles since I didn't have any angel hair pasta on hand. But otherwise, I stuck to the recipe as written, using my favorite merlot red wine. It was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Garlicious! Made for Spring 2012 Pick-A-Chef.
