"An easy and quick way to make delicious marinara sauce. So much better than what comes out of the jar!!"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 28 ounces whole tomatoes (without puree or juice is better for a thicker sauce)
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 garlic cloves (or more to suit your taste)
• sugar
• basil
• oregano
• parsley

directions

1. Add tomatoes (break these up after putting in the pot. I find it easy to use a potatoe masher or a "wand"), tomato paste, minced onion and garlic and bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling, lower to a simmer and add the sugar, basil, oregano, and parsley (all to suit you taste). It is best to add these ingredients one at a time starting with the sugar and stirring well after each addition.
3. Cover and simmer about 5-10 minutes and taste.
4. Add more of the sugar, basil, oregano, or parsley as needed.
5. Serve over angel hair or your favorite pasta and enjoy!
