Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 6 cloves garlic pressed
- 29 ounces stewed tomatoes (2 cans)
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (1 large can)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/3 cup parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, saute the onions over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and stir for 30-60 seconds.
- Add the remaining ingredients and simmer covered, for 20-30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce together. If you prefer a chunky marinara sauce, you can just use a wooden spoon to break the larger tomatoes into pieces instead of using a blender.
Notes
- Substitutions:
- - Beef broth or veggie broth will work in place of the chicken broth.
