Marinara Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
A simple fresh tomato sauce, also known as marinara sauce, is the perfect choice for a quick everyday meal.
Quick Marinara Spaghetti Sauce
Ingredients
2 (28oz) Cans of Tomatoes or about 6 Large (12 plum) Fresh Tomatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 or 6 whole leaves of fresh basil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper, season to taste
Directions for Preparing Fresh Tomatoes for Sauce Making
To prepare tomatoes for sauce making, blanch them whole, by placing them into a pot of boiling water for about one minute or just until you see the skin begin to crack. Remove them from the water and when they are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin and discard. Cut the tomatoes in half, horizontally and squeeze out, then discard, seeds. Depending on how smooth you like your sauce you can either chop the tomato meat or puree it in a blender.

In a large sauce pot, over medium heat, brown the garlic in the olive oil until just golden in color. Add the chopped onion, prepared tomatoes, basil, cheese and seasonings. Bring to a quick boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Serve over one pound cooked spaghetti.

- I like mine with a lot of meat. I usually use a pound or two of ground beef, and then let the sauce simmer for a few hours.

- I'm with Julie... lots of garlic. I always make a vegetarian marinara, but anyone who wants meat gets Italian saugage or meatballs on the side. You can't go wrong with spaghetti. Nice lens!
