How to Make Marinara
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 medium yellow onions, pureed, and 4 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil.
- Add one (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, one (15 ounce) can of tomato puree, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor!
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Your homemade marinara is ready!
- Yields approximately 10 cups. Freezes exceptionally well.
