CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE



Classic Marinara Sauce image

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.)

Categories     quick, condiments, dips and spreads, sauces and gravies

Time 25m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, enough for 1 pound of pasta

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, certified D.O.P. if possible
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 garlic cloves, peeled and slivered
Small dried whole chile, or pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large fresh basil sprig, or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, more to taste

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).

SIMPLE MARINARA SAUCE



Simple Marinara Sauce image

Recipes hardly come easier. This marinara sauce is similar to our fresh tomato sauce recipe, but canned tomatoes stand in for the fresh ones so you won't have to peel the tomatoes or put them through a food mill. If you buy chopped tomatoes in juice, you won't even have to dice them.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, condiments, main course

Time 30m

Yield Enough for 4 pasta servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes, seeded and chopped if not already chopped, with juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon sugar
A few sprigs of fresh basil, if available
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil (optional)

Steps:

  • Pulse the chopped tomatoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or pass through the medium blade of a food mill before you begin. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, wide nonstick skillet or saucepan and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until it begins to smell fragrant, and add the tomatoes and their juice, the sugar, salt, and basil sprigs. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes, or longer if necessary. Remove the basil sprigs and wipe any sauce adhering to them back into the pan. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in the slivered basil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Italian seasoning, garlic, onion, and basil are all classic ingredients in marinara sauce. But you can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, thyme, or red pepper flakes, to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Add a touch of sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: Marinara sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of pastas, from spaghetti to penne to ravioli.

Conclusion:

Marinara sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give marinara sauce a try.
