MOM'S QUICK MARINARA SAUCE
Mom's Quick Marinara Sauce ~ is our mom's traditional recipe from Naples, Italy. It is a sweet-tasting homemade sauce that is made with garlic, red pepper, fresh basil, and San Marzano tomatoes. Her tomato sauce can be used in many of our classic Italian dishes and one you will enjoy making over and over again. I always make a batch of sauce, keep some in the fridge ready to use for the week, and freeze the rest!

Steps:
- Open cans of tomatoes, pour them into a blender, and puree them. Place them aside.
- In a large saucepot and on low-medium heat, heat olive oil. Add whole garlic cloves and sauté the garlic until they turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Next, turn off the heat, or remove the pot from the heat, and have the cover to the pot nearby.
- Add the red pepper flakes. Then drop all the basil leaves at once and COVER immediately! This will prevent the oil to splash all over the kitchen and onto yourself. After a minute or so, slowly stir the basil. This will infuse the flavors of the basil and red pepper into the oil giving it a strong punch of flavor to the sauce.
- Turn the heat back on. NEXT, add the tomatoes. Cover with a lid and bring the sauce to a low boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer the sauce for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring it occasionally.
- As the sauce thickens, depending on the brand of imported tomatoes, you may need to add some water if it's getting too thick.
- Finally, taste the sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, fish out the garlic cloves and discard them. Allow the sauce to completely cool before storing it in containers and refrigerate. Can freeze up to 3 weeks.

FRESH SICILIAN TOMATO SAUCE
This is the recipe to have when your garden is bursting with overripe tomatoes. It is adapted from the Frugal Gourmet's Italian cookbook, but we won't talk about him now, will we?! I like this recipe when I don't feel like I could possibly peel or seed one more tomato - everything gets used but the cores! Freezes well.

Steps:

Tips:
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you do, the tomatoes won't cook evenly and the sauce will be watery.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Add some fresh herbs to the sauce. This will brighten up the flavor and add a touch of freshness.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Or, use it as a topping for pizza or chicken.
