Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce image

I get so many compliments on this recipe every time I make it. This is a slightly spicy yet sweet basil marinara sauce. I am vegan but occasionally I make a special pot for my husband who loves it when I add a ground link of Spicy Italian Sausage to simmer in the sauce and serve it with sausage on the side.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

30 -35 roma tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh oregano
1 cup fresh basil leaf, lightly chopped (I love a lot of basil. You may want to do a little less)
1/2-1 cup sugar (to taste, I prefer it sweet too!)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash all ingredients very well. Start with tomatoes and water over low heat in medium pot. Slowly stir in each ingredient and continue cooking and stirring for about 1/2 hour to an hour (at least, the longer/the better). If you can, refrigerate and reheat. I don't know why, but it taste better.
  • Great Additions: Artichoke Hearts, mushrooms, chopped onion, etc are just a few great additions you can add to this recipe! I have tried all of these just based on what I have in the kitchen at the time, and it always comes out great!
  • Note: This recipe is so versatile. Serve over pasta, I prefer linguini), vegetables, or even toasted crostini bread with a bit of mozzeralla on top. It can also be served cold over sliced toasted Italian bread as a bruschetta -- mmm.
  • Tip: I worked in a family owned Italian restaurant in high-school. They said to stir continually and never let the sauce boil. I try every time but have yet to succeed.

This recipe seems to be missing some important steps. It doesn't say when to add the tomatoes or the basil.

The instructions in this recipe are not very clear. I had to guess at some of the steps.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It needs garlic, oregano, and basil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this sauce turned out really watery.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce never thickened, even after simmering for over an hour.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

This sauce is a little bit too tangy for my taste.
