How to Make Kicked Up Marinara Sauce
- In a large bowl, coarsely crush 2 (28-ounce) cans of crushed tomatoes by hand.
- Puree the contents of the third (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes and add to the crushed tomatoes.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery in olive oil with the bay leaf until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally. Remove bay leaf before serving.
