Description

Homemade Marinara Sauce. So delicious and easy, you may never buy the premade stuff again.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Diced White Onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Red Chili Flakes
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoons Fennel Seeds
  • 2 cans (28 Oz. Size) Peeled San Marzano Tomatoes (or Standard Plum Tomatoes)
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Italian Parsley
  • 2 whole Dried Bay Leaves
  • ¼ cups Chopped Basil Leaves
  • Kosher Salt And Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar (as Needed)

Preparation

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until they have become soft and translucent. Stir in the red chili flakes, oregano, fennel seeds and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

While the aromatics cook, pour the tomatoes and their juices into a large bowl. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes and discard any tough core pieces that may remain. Pour the crushed tomatoes and juices into the pot. Stir in the parsley and bay leaves. Allow the contents to come to a soft boil. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer, partially covered.

Allow the sauce to simmer for 30-40 minutes, occasionally stirring. Once the sauce has thickened and reduced, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the basil leaves. Using an immersion blender (or standard blender), puree the sauce until smooth. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Depending on the tomatoes, you may need to add a bit of sugar to cut down some of the acidity.

The sauce can be used immediately or can be refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days. You may also freeze the sauce for up to a few months, however, this recipe is not intended for pressure canning/jarring. Pressure canning/jarring recipes require a high amount of acidity to avoid harmful bacteria.
