3 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
5 cups plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped |
1-1/2 tbsp. parsley, chopped |
3/4 tsp. basil |
1/4 tsp. ground pepper |
salt, to taste |
1/4 tsp. oregano |
6 tbsp. tomato paste |
Directions:
1. Brown garlic in oil.
2. Add tomatoes, parsley, basil, salt and pepper.
3. Cook over medium low flame about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Add the oregano and tomato paste and cook for about 10 more minutes.
5. If sauce starts to thicken up, add a 1/2 cup of water a little at a time until the correct consistency is attained.
6. Marinara sauce should be to the thinner side, not like other tomato sauces.
7. As the sauce cooks, and you are stirring the sauce, break up the chopped tomato as much as you can.
8. When done serve with the fried squid or pasta.
