How to Make Vegetarian Marinara Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
- Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat and serve.
