I like to make Spaghetti sauce which does get complex at times!. However, recently I've been stearing away from the complex and moving toward simplex sauces!. Traditional Marinarra Sauce does it for me : here is the Marinarra Recipe I am using!. It is not fancy, complicted or anything of this nature - - it is not supposed to be!. It is a back to basics kind of thing!.!.!.and the ancient ones knew there sauce!.

Pasta Tomato Marinarra

About 1/4 cup Canolla Oil ( Olive Oil ) heated in a pot!.
Once it is hot add about 1/2 a medium onion finely chopped and four large Garlic cloves chopped!.
Turn the temperature down to a very low cook !.!. but not a simmer!.
You want the flavors to marry well but you do not want to brown the garlic & onions!.
Watch the edges and as soon as they seem like their getting ready to turn brown soon then add 1 large can of tomatoes!.
this of course is the amount you want of tomato so you can do it many ways, put in half the can and the other half use fresh tomato!. All fresh tomato whatever you like but i use Tomato puree or tomato suace and it is the large can sold at the store!.
I add about 1 teaspoon of Basil and allow to slowly cook & simmer so flavors really marry say over about few hours!. I like to do this in the morning and use it in the evening for my pasta!.

As an option you can add Oregano in addition to the Basil but I would not go beyond this so as to keep with tradition!.
As another option you could make one the dominant ( twice as much as the other) I generally go with 1 teaspoon basil and 1/2 teaspoon Oregano when I use the oregano !.!. I keep the Basil dominant!. You can reverse this though, as an option!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Season chicken with salt and pepper!. Saute your chicken breast in a hot pan with olive oil until its almost cooked through (you will return it to the sauce later to finish cooking)!. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and scape up any browned bits!. Pour in whipping cream, parmesan cheese, and dry italian dressing mix and stir!. Add in chicken to finish cooking and season with more salt and pepper if needed!. Cook for 10-20 minutes until thickened and chicken is tender!. Serve over pasta with steamed broccoli or a salad and garlic bread!Www@FoodAQ@Com

This recipe will make enough for 2 couples!. If you plan a romantic evening where more than two's a crowd, reserve half the sauce to freeze for another supper before the addition of basil, and only cook 1/2 to 2/3 pound of penne!.

1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 cup vodka

1/2 cup heavy cream
20 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn

Crusty bread, for passing

Heat a large skillet over moderate heat!. Add oil, butter, garlic, and shallots!. Gently saute shallots for 3 to 5 minutes to develop their sweetness!. Add vodka to the pan, 3 turns around the pan in a steady stream will equal about 1 cup!. Reduce vodka by half, this will take 2 or 3 minutes!. Add chicken stock, tomatoes!. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to simmer!. Season with salt and pepper!.

While sauce simmers, cook pasta in salted boiling water until cooked to al dente (with a bite to it)!. While pasta cooks, prepare your salad or other side dishes!.
