How to Make Nonna Conti's Marinara
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and softened. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
- Stir in the paprika (or red pepper flakes) and cook for 15 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, ensuring the sauce bubbles gently. Season with salt and chopped basil.
- Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, pizza, or with crusty bread.
