Yield Makes 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Four 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes with basil, preferably from San Marzano
1/2 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons minced onion
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 leaves fresh basil, torn (optional)
Pinch of dried oregano

Steps:

  • Remove tomatoes from can and place in a large bowl, reserving juices. Crush tomatoes using your hands; remove and discard the hard core from stem end, and any skin and tough membrane; set aside.
  • Place oil in a large, nonreactive saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, and cook until soft and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and reserved juices; season with salt. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in basil, if using, oregano, and season with pepper; continue cooking 1 minute more. Remove from heat and serve.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good sauce.

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

This sauce is a bit bland for my taste, but it's still a good base for adding your own spices and flavors.

I'm not a huge fan of marinara sauce, but this one is really good. It's not too acidic and it has a nice balance of flavors.

This sauce is amazing! I used it to make chicken parmesan and it was the best I've ever had.
