How to Make Marinara Sauce
Marinara sauce is a tomato sauce usually made with tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions. Variations include capers, olives, spices, and a dash of wine.
This sauce takes a bit of time as it needs to reduce for about an hour.
The sauce can be used as a Pasta Sauce or even as a Pizza base tomato sauce.
Cuisine:Italian
ingredients
1 Brown Onion
1 tsp Chopped Garlic
60 ml Tomato Paste
30 ml Extra Virgin Oil
1 tsp of Dry Oregano
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Chilli Flakes
Cooking Instructions
- Peal your onion and just slice it in half, then throw it into a thick bottom or cast iron cooking pot.
- Add the two tins of chopped tomatoes and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and stir.
- Turn on the heat and start to bring it to the boil.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan, Garlic, Oregano, Black Pepper & Tomato Paste.
- Mix this together with a wooden spoon.
- When the sauce is boiling reduce to a low simmer.
- You need to simmer this sauce for at least 45 minutes, the longer the better.
- When the sauce is finished remove the onion and then if you wish you can blend the sauce, I just get a potato masher in there and mash it down.
This sauce goes well with Meatballs, but you can use this Marinara sauce as a pasta sauce as well.
