Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce image

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.

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.

I've made this sauce several times and it always turns out great. I love that I can use fresh or canned tomatoes, depending on what I have on hand.

This sauce is really good, but it's a bit too spicy for my liking. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.

I made this sauce last night and it was a bit too acidic for my taste. I added a little bit of sugar to balance out the acidity and it was perfect.
