Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small green bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, if desired
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (for cooking spaghetti), if desired
8 oz uncooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the onion to measure 1/2 cup. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise, and cut out seeds and membrane. Chop enough bell pepper to measure 1/4 cup. Wrap any remaining bell pepper with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their liquid, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the fennel seed and pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently and does not spatter.
  • Cover with lid; cook 35 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes to make sure mixture is just bubbling gently and to prevent sticking. Lower the heat if the sauce is bubbling too fast.
  • After the sauce has been cooking about 20 minutes, fill a 4-quart Dutch oven about half full of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if desired. Cover with lid; heat over high heat until the water is boiling rapidly. Add the spaghetti. Heat to boiling again. Boil uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but not mushy.

Provided by Alan Leonetti

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans hunts chunky crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans hunts tomato paste
1/2 cup Italian stewed tomatoes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves (cut in halves)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic, in juice (from jar)
1 shallots (diced) or 1/2 small onion (diced)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon Splenda sugar substitute or 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Empty Hunts chunky crushed tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, and Hunts tomato paste into the pot. 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, except the ground beef and finely chopped onion, 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.
  • While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef and the finely chopped onion in a skillet. When the beef is browned, add the beef and finely chopped onion into the sauce.
  • If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a little red wine or water. Remove from heat and give it one last stir.
  • NOTE: Use only Hunts Chunky Crushed Tomatoes and Hunts Tomato Paste. Conagra Foods makes both Angela Mia and Hunts, so Angela Mia would also be alright to use.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Ripe tomatoes are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe tomatoes. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmer's market.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam instead of sautéing. Cook the tomatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Add some herbs and spices. To add some extra flavor to your marinara sauce, add some herbs and spices. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
  • Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta. Marinara sauce is a great choice for serving with spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Marinara sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give marinara sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
