marinara experimentation: red wine

[cimorene]

Apparently third time's the charm! My third attempt at spaghetti sauce is definitely the best yet. I sweated the onions in butter, added olive oil and a cube of veggie bouillon, then two cans crushed tomatoes, a can of tomato puree, around 4 deciliters red wine, a bay leaf, and about a tablespoon of sugar. Simmered for thirty minutes and seasoned with basil, oregano, rosemary and a dash of chili powder.

I still haven't got around to trying it with white wine though. That's next.

I like pasta with marinara sauce a lot, and I still enjoy it if it's pretty unexciting as those things go, but this one was definitely improvement over my prior experiments! And I decided I want to be one of those people who freezes things for later instead of buying jars of ready-made pasta sauce.

I always forget what the magic modifications were later so writing it down in here means I can find it in an emergency or refer people to it. :)
