Giada's Marinara image

A great marinara from Giada de Laurentiis that I've tweaked just a bit. I cook Recipe #69173 in this sauce and get rave reviews. Giada's recipe calls for 2 32-oz cans of crushed tomatoes, but I cannot find that size. Instead I used 28 oz cans and an 8 oz can of tomato sauce.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 dried bay leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until onions are translucent (about 10 mins).
  • Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper. Saute until all veggies are soft (about 10 mins).
  • Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens (about 1 hour).
  • Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Note: When serving with Kittencal's meatballs, I make the sauce the day before, bring it to a boil, drop in the meatballs, cover and cook according to Kittencal's directions. I like to serve this over Barilla's "thick spaghetti.".

I found this marinara sauce to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more garlic and oregano next time.

This marinara sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

I've tried many marinara sauce recipes, but this one is by far the best. I love that it uses fresh tomatoes and basil. The sauce is so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on pasta, pizza, and even as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
