Easy Marinara Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 Spanish onion, chopped
• 1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 4 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 1 cup white wine

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until brown sugar dissolves and seasoning is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and white wine into the seasoned onion mixture; bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes.
