Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. If adding carrots to your sauce to balance sweetness, add them along with the onions. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.
- Simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Use an immersion blender or food processor to reach the desired consistency of your marinara sauce (optional).

- Substitute 4 pounds of fresh tomatoes for the canned tomatoes in the recipe. Pulse the tomatoes (with the peelings on them) in a food process or cut them into chunks and press them with a potato masher. You will have bits of tomato peelings and the seeds remaining in the marinara sauce, but it will be delicious!
