Quick Marinara sauce

Sometimes when you come home from work, only the satisfying flavor of a bowl of pasta can soothe your days worries away.  Penne, capellini, tortellini......any of these will do.  I usually prefer a white sauce, but on certain occasions, only the comfort of a red sauce will do. 

I make a very quick Marinara sauce.  I just cannot fathom opening a jar of sauce for those fast meals when it only takes 15 minutes to make a quick sauce..........

2 cans Redpack crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic - crushed
oregano
basil
black pepper
red pepper flakes
a pinch of sugar or honey
a bit of red wine
2 bite sized carrots
2 tablespoons chopped vidalia onion

in a saucepan, heat the oil- brown the garlic slightly, add onions and chopped carrots and saute for a few minutes.  Add the crushed tomatoes.  Add all other seasonings, and wine and let cook for about 15 minutes. 

By the time you boil water for your pasta, your sauce is ready to eat.  This is a light sauce - just enough to have a 'red sauce' fix.........Bon Apetit!!
