EASY MARINARA DIPPING SAUCE FOR THE LAZY
For those of us who don't like sauces laden with tomato chunks (much as I like tomato-based foods, tomato chunks just gross me out!) and also happen to be way too lazy to peel and cut tomatoes (that's what cans are for.) For some variation ideas try replacing one of the cans of tomato sauce with tomato paste if you like it thicker. Like it really spicy? Replace one plain can with one can of pre-seasoned tomato sauce. Yummy dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks, serve 1/4 cup in a ramekin. Recommended dishes to have with this sauce: Recipe #394477, Recipe #30977, and Recipe #91274 if making pretzel cheese logs!

Steps:
- Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender.
- To gently heat, pour 1/4 cup (or the desired amount) into a microwave-safe ramekin or container, and put a paper plate over it so tomato splats won't get all over the microwave. Nuke for 30 seconds on 50% power. You may have to adjust up or downward depending on microwave strength.

Steps:
- Heat a small pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Cook 2 minutes. Add parsley, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir sauce, bring to a bubble and simmer 5 minutes over low heat then place in small bowl and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil will give your sauce the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Simmer it for just 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened.
- Add a pinch of sugar: This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will add a rich flavor to the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
This easy marinara dipping sauce is the perfect way to add flavor to your favorite appetizers. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give this sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
