Making homemade marinara sauce is so simple to make with basic ingredients with no extra planning. The fresh taste is extraordinary!

Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoon olive oil enough to cover the bottom of the pot.
- 1 small onion chopped
- 4-6 cloves garlic minced
- 84 ounces whole plum tomatoes (3) 28 ounce cans
- 2-3 Tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- pepper to paste
Instructions
- Pour olive oil in a large pot.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and saute until translucent and soft. Do not brown!! This is very important. Then add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Place tomatoes in a blender or food processor and blend about 5-10 seconds until smooth and pureed.
- Then pour the blended tomatoes into the pot.
- Add in dry ingredients
- Bring the sauce to a slow boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for a minimum of an 1 ½ hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes so not to burn the bottom. I prefer to simmer for about 3 hours but it is still yummy if you cook it at the minimum.
Notes
- Nutritional information is with (3) 28 ounce cans of tomatoes.
- You can use other types of canned tomatoes like canned crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes. I think the flavor is better with whole tomatoes though.
- Add more favorite seasonings like a bay leaf or a little fresh thyme.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to give the sauce a kick.
- Add vegetables like mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, or zucchini for a veggie-packed sauce.
