Homemade marinara sauce is a tasty thing to have around. I use it to add a little something to meatloaf, chicken or veggies. I know you can easily buy a jar at the store, but try making it yourself and taste the difference- no chemicals or additives or preservatives. It will be like you've never had marinara sauce before!
Ingredients:
1 onion
1 celery
1 carrot
2 cloves of garlic
2 bay leaves
2 28oz can of crushed tomatoes
Any herbs or spices you desire
Tip: Trader Joe's sells a mirepoix mix (onion, carrots and celery) that is a huge time saver- way less chopping!
Preparation:
Saute onion, celery, carrots and garlic in olive oil for about 10 minutes, add salt & pepper
Add in 2 bay leaves and crushed tomatoes
Add in any herbs or spices (i.e. oregano, basil, garlic powder)
Simmer for 1 hour
Remove bay leaves
Puree in food processor
This can be stored 1 week in fridge or 6 months in freezer.
