The ingredients for Secret Marinara :O) are:

1 can tomato paste
1 cup chicken stock (you'll add this to desired consistency so it could be a little more or a little less)
3 anchovy fillets OR a Tbsp of anchovy paste (I use the paste, its easier)
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
4 Tbsp basil, shredded

(The nutritional information listed is for the sauce only and does not include the pasta you add to it or the Parmesan cheese)

Here is how you make Secret Marinara :O):

In a large skillet, add 2 tbsp EVOO and heat to medium. Add anchovies or anchovy paste to skillet and let it melt. If you're using actual anchovies, you will need to mash them up as they heat so they will melt. Once almost melted, add 1 can of tomato paste, 1 tsp at a time, until it starts to melt into a liquid, and at the same time, adding in chicken stock as you go to help the tomato paste melt. Add 3 tbsp of balsamic vinegar and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Simmer for 2 minutes stirring frequently. Once at desired consistency, add whatever cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. (I use fresh spinach fettuccine! YUM!) Top with fresh chopped basil and Parmesan cheese. This recipe makes approximately six 1 1/2 cup servings.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 0206MOMMY.
