Marinara Sauce Recipe
Marinara is an easy and simple tomato sauce that cooks very quickly and can be used for pasta, pizza and even as a dipping sauce. No drama in the making, just plenty of flavour to add to just about anything!
Ingredients
2 x 420g cans whole peeked tomatoes
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 garlic cloves, peeled and slivered
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 large fresh basil sprig
Method
Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with your hands. Pour 1 cup water into can and stir it around to get tomato juices. Reserve.
In a large frying pan (do not use a deep pot) over medium heat, heat the oil. When it is hot, add garlic.
As soon as garlic is sizzling, add the tomatoes, then the reserved tomato water. Add red pepper flakes and salt. Stir.
Place basil sprig, including stem, on the surface. Let it wilt, then submerge in sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened and oil on surface is a deep orange, about 15 minutes. (taste sauce after 10 minutes of simmering, adding more salt and oregano as needed.) Discard basil.
