FRESH TOMATO MARINARA SAUCE



Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce image

A rich, flavorful sauce that is healthy. Great for use in pasta, lasagna, and other casseroles. My favorite way to eat it is to pour over raw zucchini 'pasta' for an extra-fresh and tasty meal that's very healthy, too! A great recipe for using up extra-ripe tomatoes from your garden. Double the batch and freeze half; it freezes well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your marinade. Choose tomatoes that are in season and have a deep, red color.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. If you have the time, roast your tomatoes before blending them into the marinade.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your marinade. Some good options for a tomato-based marinade include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in many marinades. Choose a good quality olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Marinate your meat or vegetables for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate your meat or vegetables, the more flavor they will absorb. If you are short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 30 minutes, but the longer the better.
