Cabernet Marinara Pasta
|
1 cup chopped sweet onion |
|
2 TBSP olive oil |
|
3 garlic cloves, minced |
|
½ cup Cabernet Sauvignon or other dry red wine |
|
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
|
3 plum tomatoes, chopped |
|
1 TBSP sugar |
|
1 fresh basil sprig |
|
1 fresh thyme sprig |
|
2 cups uncooked penne pasta |
|
Parmesan and Romano cheeses |
IN a large saucepan, cook onion in oil over medium heat until tender. Add garlic and cook one minute longer. Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook for 3-5 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
Add the crushed tomatoes, plum tomatoes, sugar, basil, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce, heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
Discard basil and thyme. Drain pasta; toss with sauce. Top with cheeses.
NOTE: This is in the June/July 2009 TASTE OF HOME. It was incredibly easy to do and easy to have everything on hand. I used whole grain penne and bought some of those 4-paks of Cabernet for cooking. If you do weight watchers, you can do 1 ¼ cup servings (4 of them) and it comes out to 6 points per serving.
