Easy Marinara Sauce

Here’s an easy marinara sauce that is totally worth making rather than buying the jarred stuff that contains salt, oil, and sugar.

Recipe from here:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 1 T. garlic, minced
• 1 t. dried basil
• 1 t. dried oregano
• 1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 – 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, saute the onion in water for 3 minutes to soften.
2. Add the garlic and saute an additional 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly, or until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add the dried herbs and pepper and saute an additional 30 seconds.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine.
5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

This makes about 3.5 cups of sauce.

Add this easy sauce to your favorite pasta, add to beans, rice, and greens, or add as your sauce for pizza.

Enjoy 🙂
