Marinara Sauce
A simple homemade Marinara Sauce recipe is a must-have in everyone's cookbook. Preparing Marinara Sauce from scratch is quite easy. The best part? You probably already have the ingredients to make it!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup onion small diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 quart tomato sauce
- 14.5 ounces petite diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup pasta water if making with pasta
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat a large pan over medium heat, add in the oil. Once the oil is hot add in the onions and sautée until translucent. About 6 minutes. Next add in the garlic and sautée for 30 seconds.
- Now add in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and all of the herbs and spices. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If making this with pasta add in ½ cup of your pasta water, stir well and adjust the seasonings if needed. Enjoy!
