Instructions

  1. Tomatoes: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and allow to simmer uncovered until tomatoes have mostly broken down, about 25 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning.
  2. Herbs: Stir in remaining ingredients. Continue simmering about 10 minutes.
  3. Serve: You can serve it like this or puree it in a food processor or blender for a smoother sauce.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup or granulated sugar instead of honey.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • To freeze marinara sauce, keep it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw in the fridge overnight then reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
