Once I tried this marinara, I couldn't go back. It puts other red sauces to shame! I am always disappointed at Italian restaurants now because I can make it so much better at home! It takes a while to simmer, but is worth every second. The sauce freezes well, so feel free to double the recipe! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup diced onion |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 tablespoon basil |
1 tablespoon oregano |
1/4 tablespoon anise seed |
1/8 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in large saucepan.
2. Add onions - let cook one minute.
3. Stir in garlic. Cook until onion is translucent.
4. Add all tomato products, water, and spices (mushrooms, if desired).
5. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently.
6. Lower heat and let simmer about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
