CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE



Classic Marinara Sauce image

Homemade marinara is almost as fast and tastes immeasurably better than even the best supermarket sauce - and it's made with basic pantry ingredients. All the tricks to a bright red, lively-tasting sauce, made just as it is in the south of Italy (no butter, no onions) are in this recipe. Use a skillet instead of the usual saucepan: the water evaporates quickly, so the tomatoes are just cooked through as the sauce becomes thick. (Our colleagues over at Wirecutter have spent a lot of time testing skillets to find the best on the market. If you're looking to purchase one, check out their skillet guide.)

Categories     quick, condiments, dips and spreads, sauces and gravies

Time 25m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, enough for 1 pound of pasta

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, certified D.O.P. if possible
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 garlic cloves, peeled and slivered
Small dried whole chile, or pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large fresh basil sprig, or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, more to taste

Steps:

  • Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with your hands. Pour 1 cup water into can and slosh it around to get tomato juices. Reserve.
  • In a large skillet (do not use a deep pot) over medium heat, heat the oil. When it is hot, add garlic.
  • As soon as garlic is sizzling (do not let it brown), add the tomatoes, then the reserved tomato water. Add whole chile or red pepper flakes, oregano (if using) and salt. Stir.
  • Place basil sprig, including stem, on the surface (like a flower). Let it wilt, then submerge in sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened and oil on surface is a deep orange, about 15 minutes. (If using oregano, taste sauce after 10 minutes of simmering, adding more salt and oregano as needed.) Discard basil and chile (if using).

MARINARA SAUCE OF ALAN LEONETTI (2 SERVINGS) (((THE BEST)))



Marinara Sauce of Alan Leonetti (2 Servings) (((The Best))) image

This is the cut down version of my marinara sauce that I usually make and freeze for the year... If the sauce is too thick for you, add a little tomato juice or water or wine, but be careful not to thin it too much. I personally like a very thick sauce. ALL ITALIAN FOOD FROM SOUTHERN ITALY HAS OREGANO. The one person that disagreed with that in their review does NOT know what they're talking about.

Categories     Sauces

Time 3h15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans hunts chunky crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 chopped garlic cloves (cut in halves or thirds)
1 teaspoon garlic juice (from jar)

4 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the pot.
  • Slice the cloves of garlic crosswise into either halves or thirds or pieces, and dump them into the pot.
  • Dice the shallot, and dump that into the pot.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, and stir to mix well with a large long handled wooden spoon.
  • Do not strain, as the pulp adds to make this a thick and wonderful sauce.
  • Cover and cook on medium heat, stirring every 10 minutes for about an hour or until it bubbles and is completely heated throughout.
  • Reduce heat to simmer, and continue to simmer, stirring every 10 or 15 minutes to keep from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot for 1 or 2 hours.
  • Remove from heat and give it one last stir.
  • Serve over spaghetti, ravioli, pasta or use for chicken parmesan, veal parmesan, or anything that calls for a marinara sauce.

RACHEL'S LAZY PASTA / MARINARA SAUCE II (VEGAN)



Rachel's Lazy Pasta / Marinara Sauce II (Vegan) image

Never spend money on store shelf sauce again! An upgrade from Recipe #394646, I like to use this as my main pasta sauce as it has the consistency and taste I really like but without icky tomato chunks: it's cheap and easy to make! And being animal-product-free, also vegan. I like it way better than jarred; and it's easy to jar too and has a long fridge life. For Italian seasoning I used Recipe #391627 and there are some other good ones on here, but storebought is good too. This is perfect for all household sizes but especially singles/small households because it doesn't yield a ton. (But if you need more, it is easy to double and triple.)

Tips & Tricks to Elevate Your Marinara Sauce Game
### - Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes as the base of your sauce. This will give it a naturally vibrant taste and color. - Using a variety of tomatoes can add complexity and depth to your sauce. Try combining plum tomatoes with cherry tomatoes or even heirloom tomatoes. - For a richer flavor, roast your tomatoes before adding them to the sauce. This caramelizes the sugars and concentrates the flavors. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices in your sauce. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and chili peppers. - If you want a smooth sauce, blend it with an immersion blender after it has cooked. Or, you can pass it through a food mill for a silky texture. - If you have extra time, simmer your sauce for several hours or even overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop a deeper complexity. - Serve your marinara sauce with your favorite pasta, chicken, or vegetables. It can also be used as a pizza sauce or as a dipping sauce for breadsticks or garlic knots. ###
