HOMEMADE MARINARA SAUCE WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Cut onion and carrot into chunks. Trim tops from fennel, then cut fennel in half lengthwise, cut out dense core in a V, and cut bulb into chunks. Pulse vegetables and half the garlic cloves in a food processor until finely chopped, but don't pulse so much that you create a puree. Chop remaining garlic by hand and set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, and when it's hot, add vegetables from food processor. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are soft and fragrant but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add reserved chopped garlic to vegetables and cook until softened but not browned, another 2 minutes. To create deeper flavor, ''toast'' the tomato paste: Scoot the vegetables to one side of the pan, drop in the tomato paste, and cook it while scraping and stirring until it has browned slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in both types of tomato and the 1/4 cup olive oil. Then stir in 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and the rosemary sprigs. Stack basil leaves, roll, cut crosswise into shreds, and add them to sauce.
• Adjust heat so sauce bubbles gently. Cover pan and cook sauce 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove lid and continue to simmer until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, another 30 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping around sides of the pan.
• Taste sauce and add more salt or red pepper flakes; or if sauce still seems acidic, add a pinch of sugar. Remove rosemary sprigs and discard, but don't worry about rosemary needles that will have fallen off. They are soft and tasty now!
• Serve marinara with any pasta shape, soft polenta, or meatballs; or use as a pizza topping. Store in refrigerator up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
