How to Make Longer Cooked Very Garlicky Marinara Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 10 cloves of minced garlic to the pot.
  3. Sauté the garlic, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes with their juices. Gently squeeze the tomatoes as you add them to the pot to break them up.
  5. Add 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally.
