Marinara Sauce
For spaghetti, lasagna, and all of your favorite marinara sauce needs.
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 2 14.5 oz cans stewed San Marzano tomatoes
- 1 6 oz can tomato paste
- 4 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 4-6 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅓ cup finely diced yellow onion
- ¼ tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp butter
Instructions
- In a food processor place tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped parsley, basil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- In a large skillet or sauce pan, saute the finely chopped onion in olive oil until soft and starting to carmelize.
- Add the blended tomato sauce. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- At this point, taste the sauce, and if it is too tart add 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 tsp unsalted butter. This will mellow the acidity without making an overly sweet sauce.
