It’s Monday, a good day for mrinara. (Okay, I know it's Tuesday and I am a little late, but I live on Key West time). In November of 1994 I
was living in New Jersey and had the opportunity to take some cooking classes taught
by Graziella Iacovino. She is a very talented chef and interesting woman, a
former nun, now the mother of five children. Her restaurant, Graziella's featured awesome Italian dishes, and an Opera singing wait staff. Taking her classes was a wonderful
experience and enhanced my love of eating and cooking Italian food. I look forward
to sharing her recipes with you along the way. This recipe was handed down to
her from her mother.
From her cookbook La Cucina Semplice:
Salsa alla marinara
½ cup olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
½ cup chopped parsley
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
2 (32oz.) cans peeled tomatoes
2 leaves fresh basil or ½ teaspoon dried basil
Salt to taste
½ cup dry white wine
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Saute onion, parsley, and garlic. Add wine after onion and garlic are
soft. Add tomatoes, salt, oregano, and
basil. Simmer 30 to 40 mins.
Simple and delicious….eat healthy!
