Steps:
- Heat a heavy bottom large pot on medium low flame. Add a lug of olive oil and the diced onion with a pinch of sea salt. Cook for about 10 minutes until traslucent taking good care not to burn it.
- Stir in the minced garlic and let it infuse the oil for about 30 seconds.
- Use your hands and crush the tomatoes as you add them to the pot with the onion and garlic. Rustic chunks are what we are after.
- Add the bay leaf and the 4 sprigs of basil then bring everything to a gentle simmer. Partially cover with a lid and cook down until reduced and thick to your liking. About an hour or so. Stir a few times making sure the sugars from the tomatoes don't stick to the bottom.
- After the sauce has reduced season to taste with the sea salt. Discard the bay leaf and basil sprigs.
- Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the reserved fresh basil. Serve with your favorite pasta to transfer to jars and refrigerate up to one week.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.
CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it just turns golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
PERFECT MARINARA SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 6 thinly sliced garlic cloves and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the garlic is golden, about 6 minutes. Crush a 28-ounce can of San Marzano plum tomatoes into the skillet with your hands; rinse the can with about 1 cup water and add to the sauce. Add a handful of torn basil leaves and season with salt. Increase the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until thick, 20 to 25 minutes. Toss with 1 pound cooked pasta (makes 4 cups sauce).
CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE
Homemade marinara is almost as fast and tastes immeasurably better than even the best supermarket sauce - and it's made with basic pantry ingredients. All the tricks to a bright red, lively-tasting sauce, made just as it is in the south of Italy (no butter, no onions) are in this recipe. Use a skillet instead of the usual saucepan: the water evaporates quickly, so the tomatoes are just cooked through as the sauce becomes thick. (Our colleagues over at Wirecutter have spent a lot of time testing skillets to find the best on the market. If you're looking to purchase one, check out their skillet guide.)

Steps:
- Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with your hands. Pour 1 cup water into can and slosh it around to get tomato juices. Reserve.
- In a large skillet (do not use a deep pot) over medium heat, heat the oil. When it is hot, add garlic.
- As soon as garlic is sizzling (do not let it brown), add the tomatoes, then the reserved tomato water. Add whole chile or red pepper flakes, oregano (if using) and salt. Stir.
- Place basil sprig, including stem, on the surface (like a flower). Let it wilt, then submerge in sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened and oil on surface is a deep orange, about 15 minutes. (If using oregano, taste sauce after 10 minutes of simmering, adding more salt and oregano as needed.) Discard basil and chile (if using).

EASY LIGHT AND LOVELY MARINARA SAUCE
This is my favorite Marinara to use on any pasta. Fast and flavorful and refined. Hope you like it too. Try it on top of my ravioli recipe, Recipe #rz.278638, or any of the fresh pastas! The yield really depends on how much water you add and how long you cook it down for. You can cut back on the oil or increase it. This sauce is very forgiving so make it your own and add what you like. If you add oregano you should cook it a little longer so the herb has a chance to flavor the sauce. Me? I like it very, very simple,

Steps:
- In a skillet, warm the olive oil on medium low and toss in the garlic. Saute the garlic until it is very fragrant and golden in color. Remove the garlic and discard or save for another use.
- Pour the liquid from the tomato can into the skillet but be careful of splattering. Stick your hand into the can and squeeze the tomatoes, discard any stem ends that are hard. Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and heat through while you cook your pasta. Cook it down until it is the desired consistency. I don't like chunky thick pasta sauces so I cook mine down and even use my immersible blender to smooth it out. Cook it until it reaches a good consistency for what you are using it for.
- My mother always said that the sauce is ready when it doesn't foam any longer. It should only take 20 minutes to make, if that.
- Taste for seasoning, sauce your pasta and top with basil leaves.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best sauce. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they have fewer seeds and a more concentrated flavor.
- Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Don't skimp on the garlic. Garlic is a key ingredient in marinara sauce, and it adds a lot of flavor. Use at least 2 cloves of garlic, and you can use more if you like.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
This marinara sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or chicken. It's also a great way to use up fresh tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious marinara sauce that will impress your family and friends.
