Marinara Sauce

Ingredients

* 6 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (I use RedPack diced tomatoes with Garlic and Olive Oil)
* 3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
* 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 3 cloves garlic, minced (omit if you use the tomatoes with garlic and olive oil. Or if you like extra garlic, than add it.)
* 1 tablespoon dried oregano
* 1 tablespoon dried basil
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 cup finely diced onion
* 1-1/2 cups chicken stock (I use it in place of wine)

1. In a food processor place Italian tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped parsley, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, sugar, and pepper. Blend until smooth if you want a smoother sauce. (I like mine a little chunky so I don't use the food processor.)
2. In a large skillet over medium heat saute the finely chopped onion in olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the blended tomato sauce and chicken stock.
3. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you have a crockpot, transfer everything to the crockpot and keep on low all day (8-10 hours). Comes out better, in my opinion.
