I can't remember where I found this basic recipe, but I tweaked it into a wonderful, zippy marinara sauce. I use it mostly for meatball subs, but it's also incredible spread over perfect, al dente pasta! I encourage you to try it exactly as the recipe desribes. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce (regular) |
2 garlic cloves (largish cloves, finely diced) |
1/2 cup white onion (finely diced) |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (dehydrated) |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground) |
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
2 teaspoons kraft grated 100% parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce (lea & perrins!) |
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Heat saucepan over medium heat; once hot, add 2 Tbsp olive oil.
2. Saute diced onion until slightly translucent (about 2-3 mins).
3. Add diced garlic and crushed chilies; saute another 2-3 minutes.
4. Add tomato sauce and water.
5. Reduce heat to low and bring to a simmer.
6. Add pepper, parsley, oregano, basil and parmesan cheese; stir.
7. Add Worcestershire sauce and vinegar.
8. Add sugar and salt (to taste); stir well.
9. Let simmer 45 mins, stirring occasionally.
