Since I married an Italian, I figured I better master a homemade marinara sauce. I know most Italian's just throw a bunch of ingredients together and miraculously it is the most delicious sauce you ever tasted, but, for someone who is the farthest from Italian, I needed some help. I thought what better resource than the famous Giada! Every single darn recipe I have ever tried from her, turns out unbelievable. I knew this would be no different.

The one big thing I changed was by adding all the ingredients into a food processor prior to cooking. I first put the garlic and onions into the food processor and then sauteed that with the olive oil and then added all the other ingredients into the food processor and added it to the pot. Everything was combined very nicely and I am not a big fan of big chunks in my sauce. I also added a sprinkle of red hot pepper flakes for a little heat ;-)
