THE BEST MARINARA SAUCE
I developed this recipe with a friend to make the most of a bumper crop of tomatoes. Now we like to make huge batches-we're talking 220-pounds-of- tomatoes huge-and then give jars along with a pound of pasta as gifts around the holidays. Knowing this sauce is made from the heart with the best possible ingredients makes me feel good about giving it to my family and friends. -Shannon Norris, Cudahy, Wisconsin

EASY MARINARA DIPPING SAUCE FOR THE LAZY
For those of us who don't like sauces laden with tomato chunks (much as I like tomato-based foods, tomato chunks just gross me out!) and also happen to be way too lazy to peel and cut tomatoes (that's what cans are for.) For some variation ideas try replacing one of the cans of tomato sauce with tomato paste if you like it thicker. Like it really spicy? Replace one plain can with one can of pre-seasoned tomato sauce. Yummy dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks, serve 1/4 cup in a ramekin. Recommended dishes to have with this sauce: Recipe #394477, Recipe #30977, and Recipe #91274 if making pretzel cheese logs!

Steps:
- Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender.
- To gently heat, pour 1/4 cup (or the desired amount) into a microwave-safe ramekin or container, and put a paper plate over it so tomato splats won't get all over the microwave. Nuke for 30 seconds on 50% power. You may have to adjust up or downward depending on microwave strength.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. Just make sure to drain them well before using.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. You can add a little bit of chili powder, garlic powder, or oregano to give the sauce a different flavor.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to develop and mellow out.
- If you're using the sauce as a dipping sauce, serve it warm. If you're using it as a pasta sauce, you can serve it hot or cold.
Conclusion:
This marinara dipping sauce is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for dipping bread, vegetables, or even pizza. It can also be used as a pasta sauce or a topping for chicken or fish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy sauce to make, give this marinara dipping sauce a try.
