How to Make Awesomely Easy Marinara Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped onions and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the saucepan. Sauté until the onions are softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in one (16-ounce) can of tomato sauce, stirring well to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing it to bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Start with 1/4 teaspoon of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, use as a pizza sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
