A seemingly simple red sauce transforms any dish from ordinary to extraordinary, following the tradition of Italian cuisine: fresh, simple ingredients. Simply use this marinara to top any pasta dish that requires a red sauce, such as breaded Parmesan-style dishes like eggplant or chicken.

In a large saucepan, sauté onion in olive oil, until soft and translucent, on medium to low heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden, careful not to overcook.
