Homemade Marinara Sauce
This moist and rich tomato sauce is pure heaven. Filled with fresh herbs and authentic Italian flavors. Gives you the flexibility to add as much or as little salt as you desire. Prepared in minutes and then simmered for 6 hours which will fill your house with an incredible aroma.
I find canned San Marzano plum tomatoes give the best flavour for this recipe. However, any canned tomato will work. The remaining ingredients are pantry items that you likely have in your house already.
Serve this sauce over your favorite noodles, spiralized veggies, or use in your lasagna recipes. I like to make a big batch of this sauce and freeze it so I have it on hand when needed. Will last up to 6 months in the freezer and 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
I am excited for you to try.
