Marinara Sauce for Meat
(This all-purpose Italian-style tomato sauce can be used over pasta, in lasagna, on pizza, or with baked chicken.)

Ingredients

4 strips Bacon

1 medium Onion, diced

1 tablespoon Garlic, minced

4 cups crushed (or ground) Pear Tomatoes

1 1/2 tablespoons Basil

2 teaspoons Oregano

1/4 cup Red Wine (optional)

Directions

Render the fat from the bacon in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove the bacon strips. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, but do not brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer over a low heat for about two hours. Stir often to prevent scorching.

Makes 8-10 servings
