Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, grated carrot, and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add the Tomatoes

    Stir in the crushed canned tomatoes and tomato paste to the saucepan with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add the dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the sauce. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Marinara

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

  5. 5

    Finish with Fresh Basil

    Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped fresh basil. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
