Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.
CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE
Homemade marinara is almost as fast and tastes immeasurably better than even the best supermarket sauce - and it's made with basic pantry ingredients. All the tricks to a bright red, lively-tasting sauce, made just as it is in the south of Italy (no butter, no onions) are in this recipe. Use a skillet instead of the usual saucepan: the water evaporates quickly, so the tomatoes are just cooked through as the sauce becomes thick. (Our colleagues over at Wirecutter have spent a lot of time testing skillets to find the best on the market. If you're looking to purchase one, check out their skillet guide.)

Steps:
- Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with your hands. Pour 1 cup water into can and slosh it around to get tomato juices. Reserve.
- In a large skillet (do not use a deep pot) over medium heat, heat the oil. When it is hot, add garlic.
- As soon as garlic is sizzling (do not let it brown), add the tomatoes, then the reserved tomato water. Add whole chile or red pepper flakes, oregano (if using) and salt. Stir.
- Place basil sprig, including stem, on the surface (like a flower). Let it wilt, then submerge in sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened and oil on surface is a deep orange, about 15 minutes. (If using oregano, taste sauce after 10 minutes of simmering, adding more salt and oregano as needed.) Discard basil and chile (if using).

MARINARA
My mother, who was Italian American, called marinara sauce "gravy." She made this marinara sauce recipe in big batches several times a month, so it was a staple on our dinner table. A mouthwatering aroma filled the house each time she cooked it. -James Grimes, Frenchtown, New Jersey

COOKING LIGHT'S BASIC MARINARA SAUCE
This sauce consists mostly of pantry staples. Keep canned crushed tomatoes on hand, and you can prepare a batch of sauce any time. For the best taste, look for chunky tomatoes without added herbs or spices. Buy low-sodium or no-salt-added tomatoes so the finished sauce tastes more of tomatoes than salt. Cento and Eden Organic brands are recommened. Because marinara is a long-simmered sauce, dried herbs are best. They soften and maintain more flavor during the long cook time. Crumble them in your palm to release more of their tasty essential oils. The slow heat will compromise the delicate, fruity flavor of expensive extra virgin olive oil. Regular olive oil will work nicely in the marinara. Rely on a large Dutch oven or stockpot because this recipe makes enough sauce for several meals. Cook at a low simmer - just a few bubbles every few seconds will yield the deepest taste. October 2007

SIMPLE MARINARA SAUCE
Recipes hardly come easier. This marinara sauce is similar to our fresh tomato sauce recipe, but canned tomatoes stand in for the fresh ones so you won't have to peel the tomatoes or put them through a food mill. If you buy chopped tomatoes in juice, you won't even have to dice them.

Steps:
- Pulse the chopped tomatoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or pass through the medium blade of a food mill before you begin. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, wide nonstick skillet or saucepan and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until it begins to smell fragrant, and add the tomatoes and their juice, the sugar, salt, and basil sprigs. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes, or longer if necessary. Remove the basil sprigs and wipe any sauce adhering to them back into the pan. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in the slivered basil.
