I have been looking for a good red sauce recipe. I finally found it. I used holland house red cooking wine and added a bit of tomato paste when I noticed it wasn't thickening up like I am used too. Fresh basil is wonderful!!

This was the first time that I have made marinara sauce. I had to make a few changes, just because I didn't have the exact ingredients. I used tomato sauce instead of tomatoes and I used red wine vinegar and added an extra teaspoon of sugar. My very picky husband raved about it and went back for seconds. We had this over Italian sausage with peppers and onions and wheat penne pasta. I will definitely be making it again !!

Yum! This is our new favourite marinara sauce. I think everything tastes better with wine ;) And my kids and husband really love this sauce too. I usually make a double batch and freeze some. I also add tomato paste to thicken it up a bit.

I give this sauce 5 stars! I did add a small can of tomato paste with oregano, basil and parsley. I used a pinot noir wine and I didn't have any fresh parsley so I used dried. We are planning to use this sauce along with an alfredo sauce for a wedding we are catering later this month. Excellent!!

I have never made a marinara with red wine, I was sceptical. I tried it and was very impressed, this one is in my recipe box now. Of course I tweaked it just a little by sautéing up some fine diced carrot and celery with the garlic. I also seasoned the oil with a fresh cayenne pepper diced. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. This one will be in regular rotation.

This turned out to be a pretty good sauce. It was a bit runny for me, even though I did leave out the water. I added onions, mushrooms and extra garlic, and it ended up pairing pretty well with my mushroom raviolis.
