How to Make Tereasa's Spicy Marinara Sauce

  1. Drain one (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes and puree them in a blender until smooth.
  2. Set the tomato puree aside.
  3. In a large deep skillet or frying pan, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tablespoons olive oil until the onions are tender but not browned (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in the pureed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Store the sauce in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy on your favorite pasta, meats, or pizza!
