Easy Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Spanish onion, chopped
- 0.25 green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil

- 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste

Steps
- Set a large pot over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Cook and stir the onion, green bell pepper and garlic for 5 to 10 minutes, until the onion turns translucent. Mix in the brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, oregano, basil, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the seasonings are fragrant.
