Marinara sauce for pasta

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion (1 pc.)
• 1.5 tsp chopped garlic
• 0.5 cups of quality red wine, such as Chianti
• 1 can (800 g) of canned crushed tomatoes, or plum tomatoes in puree, chopped
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1.5 tsp coarse salt
• 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until translucent, 5-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Add the wine and cook over high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, and salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes.
