Pr0k's Quick Marinara

• 3 15oz cans tomato sauce
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 small onion or two shallots, minced
• 4 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1 tsp basil
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1/8 tsp thyme
• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tbsp decent red wine
• 2-3 tbsp olive oil

Saute garlic in oil over medium-low heat for 5 min. Do not brown the garlic. Add carrot and onion and increase heat to medium high. Add salt and cook until all the vegetables are soft, 5-7 min. Add tomato paste and the rest of the seasonings except the bay leaf and saute, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens a little but does not burn. Add wine, worcestershire, stir for 30 seconds more, then add the tomato sauce, plus about a can's worth of water (use the water to get the last of the sauce out of the cans.) Add the bay leaf and bring to a light simmer. Simmer uncovered (use a splatter screen though) for at least an hour. Add water if the sauce gets too thick.
