Marinara Sauce

I love this marinara sauce. It is always my go to when I do not have a lot of time. The San Marzano tomatoes make all of the difference in this sauce. You should be able to find them any where today. I have gotten them in every market I have been in. Some have more variety than others. I recommend if you can, get the whole peeled with the basil. These are the best for this sauce. Enjoy!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large can San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes with basil
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large or 2 small cloves of garlic smashed and chopped
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced very finely
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a medium sauce pan, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the hot oil. Stir quickly as to make sure that the onion and the garlic do not brown too much. You really do not want to get color on the vegetables as you really just want to sweat them. Add kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  2. Add in the whole peeled tomatoes. Add them in and stir them around and begin to break them up in the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low and let that all simmer, stirring occasionally for about 30-35 minutes.
  3. Check the sauce for final seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Check that the flavor is where you want it to be. Using either an immersion blender or a stand blender, blend the sauce until it is pureed and smooth. Check one more time for seasoning and Enjoy!
