Marinara Sauce
(1 Servings)Ingredients
1 | 200 g canned whole tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes) |
2 | 1 clove garlic, minced |
3 | 15 ml olive oil |
4 | 1/2 tsp dried oregano |
5 | 1/2 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity) |
6 | Salt, to taste |
7 | Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional) |
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the canned tomatoes, including the juice. If using whole tomatoes, crush them with a spoon as you add them.
Stir in the dried oregano and sugar (if using). Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once done, remove from heat and taste, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Pro Tips
For a smoother sauce, blend it with an immersion blender after cooking.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!
