Marinara sauce for spaghetti, pizza, and the like

2/20/2020

1 Comment

 
I make a big batch of marinara sauce and can use it in 1-3 recipes that week (lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, etc).

INGREDIENTS
  • ~1 Tablespoon of olive oil
  • Green, red, or yellow pepper- chopped optional (only if you've got 'em on hand)
  • 6 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 Large cans of organic peeled tomatoes (or 2 lbs of fresh tomatoes)
  • 2 cups of water
  • ~1/4 cup organic maple syrup (more or less to taste)
  • Optional: 1 lb of Italian pork sausage or ground beef
  • Salt & pepper
  • A large bunch of basil

DIRECTIONS:
  1. In a large stockpot, add ~1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the onion, garlic, and peppers (if using) in some olive oil for 4-6 minutes, med-high heat.
  2. Add the tomatoes and water and bring to a low boil; simmer for 45-60 minutes until it's at your desired consistency. ​
  3. Add the maple syrup in the last ~10 minutes.
  4. If you're making it a meat sauce, cook the ground meat separately in a little olive oil until no longer pink for ~8 minutes and add to the sauce at the end. 
  5. You should have ~6 cups of the world's very very best marinara sauce.
