Basic Marinara Sauce
Making your own marinara sauce is actually pretty simple and has so much more flavor than store bought sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1 28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp thyme
- ½ tsp rosemary
- ½ tsp basil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup red wine
Instructions
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and half an onion diced. Cook about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Once the onions have cooked, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the whole can of whole peeled tomatoes, and use the spoon to crush the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
- Add all the spices and the red wine or balsamic vinegar. Mix to combine and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the alcohol has cooked off and the flavors have combined.
Notes
If you don't have red wine or do not consume alcohol, you can substitute 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar in place of the wine. Store in a sealed container in the fridge up to 10 days.
