A simple and flavorful marinara sauce that can be used instead of store-bought spaghetti sauce. I like it served hot over cooked pasta and topped with fresh-grated Parmesan cheese. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1/2 small onion, chopped |
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 dash pepper |
hot pasta |
fresh-grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, sauté garlic and onion in olive oil until onion is tender.
2. Stir all remaining ingredients in with onion mixture; heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Carefully puree hot sauce in in a food processor or blender; serve hot over cooked pasta and top with fresh-grated Parmesan cheese.
