Multigrain Pasta With Authentic Italian Marinara Sauce

Description

This is our incredible homemade authentic Italian marinara sauce served over multigrain pasta.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces multigrain pasta
  • 2 pounds fresh ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2-3 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1/2 Vidalia onion, chopped
  • 5 large cloves of garlic, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, rough chopped or torn
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place diced tomatoes and the bay leaf in large saucepan.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil (reserve 1 tablespoon) in sauté pan.
  • Sauté onions a few minutes over medium-high heat until almost soft, add garlic during final minute of cooking (do not allow garlic or onions to brown).
  • Stir the onions and garlic into the tomatoes, and then deglaze pan with red wine and add to tomato mixture.
  • Cook marinara sauce over medium-low heat (very light simmer) for about 1.5-2 hours, stirring often, until reduced to the consistency you prefer.
  • As the marinara is cooking, taste it and add salt, fresh ground pepper and sugar to your liking.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, boil 8 ounces of whole wheat pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon olive oil and the fresh basil leaves into the marinara sauce during the final minute of cooking.
  • Spoon sauce over cooked pasta, garnish with fresh basil leaves and enjoy!

Notes

Serves 2. Optional: top with a little freshly grated asiago or parmigiana cheese.

  4. Thanks very much everyone. Eric, thanks again for turning me on to the webinar, I really enjoyed it and I think I got a lot out of it.

    The interesting thing is that watching a half-dozen pros fawn over a plate of food for an hour or more for a single “hero shot” shows me that obtaining that kind of precision is not realistic for the average Jane or Joe. I took this picture less than a minute before I ate, and I did it with very little prep other than a rough composition idea and a couple test shots to get the proper exposure.

  13. Looking at the picture with fresh eyes this morning I see about a half-dozen things I’d change. Still, overall I’m pretty happy with it as my first real attempt at a “good” food photograph. Thanks for the comments!
