FRESH TOMATO MARINARA SAUCE

A rich, flavorful sauce that is healthy. Great for use in pasta, lasagna, and other casseroles. My favorite way to eat it is to pour over raw zucchini 'pasta' for an extra-fresh and tasty meal that's very healthy, too! A great recipe for using up extra-ripe tomatoes from your garden. Double the batch and freeze half; it freezes well.

I had a lot of tomatoes this year and after trying other marinara sauces, I came up with this one. We like a little spicy. You can also use canned tomatoes for this recipe. Try this sauce with Recipe #23713--it's wonderful.

FRESH TOMATO MARINARA SAUCE

I get so many compliments on this recipe every time I make it. This is a slightly spicy yet sweet basil marinara sauce. I am vegan but occasionally I make a special pot for my husband who loves it when I add a ground link of Spicy Italian Sausage to simmer in the sauce and serve it with sausage on the side.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

30 -35 roma tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh oregano
1 cup fresh basil leaf, lightly chopped (I love a lot of basil. You may want to do a little less)
1/2-1 cup sugar (to taste, I prefer it sweet too!)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash all ingredients very well. Start with tomatoes and water over low heat in medium pot. Slowly stir in each ingredient and continue cooking and stirring for about 1/2 hour to an hour (at least, the longer/the better). If you can, refrigerate and reheat. I don't know why, but it taste better.
  • Great Additions: Artichoke Hearts, mushrooms, chopped onion, etc are just a few great additions you can add to this recipe! I have tried all of these just based on what I have in the kitchen at the time, and it always comes out great!
  • Note: This recipe is so versatile. Serve over pasta, I prefer linguini), vegetables, or even toasted crostini bread with a bit of mozzeralla on top. It can also be served cold over sliced toasted Italian bread as a bruschetta -- mmm.
  • Tip: I worked in a family owned Italian restaurant in high-school. They said to stir continually and never let the sauce boil. I try every time but have yet to succeed.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce, so choose the best you can find. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of bruises or blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to your sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Marinara sauce is best when it's cooked for a short amount of time. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor and become watery.
  • Taste the sauce as you cook it: Season the sauce to your liking with salt, pepper, and other spices. Be careful not to over-season the sauce, as you can always add more seasoning later.
  • Let the sauce cool before storing it: Once the sauce is cooked, let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer. This will help to prevent the sauce from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomato marinara sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from pasta to pizza to chicken. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious marinara sauce that will impress your family and friends.
