Simple Marinara Sauce

Total time: 30 min
Servings: 2 c.
Equipment: Stove & Refrigerator
  • 56 oz. Canned Whole Peeled San Marzano Tomatoes
  • 1/2 c. Olive Oil
  • 1 c. Onions, diced
  • 2 tbsp. Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated Sugar
  • 4 tbsp. Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt & Black Pepper
  • Pour the tomatoes into a bowl and crush them into small pieces. Make sure to keep the tomatoes below the surface of the liquid when you squeeze them—this will prevent them from bursting.
  • Warm a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 1–2 minutes, until the onions turn a light brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and sugar and cook the sauce for 15 minutes to thicken and meld the flavors.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the basil, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
