Ingredients for Artichoke And Olive Marinara Sauce

  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Pepperoncini Peppers
  • Olive Oil
  • Dry White Wine
  • Plum Tomatoes
  • Marinated Artichoke Hearts
  • Kalamata Olive
  • Fresh Parsley

How to Make Artichoke And Olive Marinara Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1-2 small peperoncini (finely chopped, adjust to taste). Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio) and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the wine has almost completely evaporated.
  3. Add 28 ounces (one 28-ounce can) crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Stir in 14 ounces (one 14-ounce can) artichoke hearts (drained and quartered) and 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved). Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over 1 pound of your favorite pasta (penne, linguine, or spaghetti work well).
  6. Garnish with extra parsley and a drizzle of olive oil (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
