Marinara Sauce Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Marinara Sauce
Sauté the Garlic
Add 4 teaspoons of minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the Crushed Tomatoes
Pour in the 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes, stirring well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season the Sauce
Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the sauce. Stir well to incorporate all the seasonings.
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Garnish and Serve
Once the sauce is thickened and flavors have melded, remove from heat. Stir in 0.5 cup of chopped fresh basil for a burst of flavor. Serve warm as a side.
