Make Easy Marinara Sauce:
There is nothing that I like better than my tomato sauce cooking for hours and filling the house with that amazing aroma.
Today is certainly a busy world, and sometimes you just don’t have the time. This simple marinara sauce recipe can be ready in 15 minutes or less.
Marinara Sauce Ingredients:
1 – 28oz. can crushed tomatoes (you can also use diced tomatoes if you prefer)
2 cloves garlic finely diced
Olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of a 10-inch fry pan)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley (dried or fresh)
¼ cup water
Fresh grated Romano cheese
Salt and Pepper
Here is how I did this:
I covered the bottom of my 10-inch fry pan with olive oil and then added the garlic. Let this just begin to sizzle, not too much because you don’t want to burn the garlic.
Next, I added the can of tomatoes, Italian seasoning, parsley, and water. I had the burner set to medium heat and stirred until seasoning mixed in well.
I started a pot of water for our spaghetti, continuing to stir the marinara sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil for 2 minutes continue to stir, then turn your burner down to simmer.
Grate some fresh cheese on top, add some garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste and your marinara sauce is ready to mix with your pasta or spoon it over your plate of favorite pasta.
This recipe for Italian marinara sauce is so quick and easy you'll never want to buy sauce in a jar again.

ReplyDeleteHi Pat, It's real easy to make and quick if you're in a hurry!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good sauce for spaghetti. My MIL would make a sweet spaghetti sauce. To sweet for my taste. My kids started adding sugar whenever they ate spaghetti in my home. I broke that bad habit real quick. No need to sweeten a good sauce. In my opinion it ruins it.
ReplyDeleteI agree Sandy a little sugar is okay, but not too much. I don't like my sauce sweet either. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSam, the texture on this is perfect. Kudos!

ReplyDeleteYour quick and easy marinara sauce sounds good and so much better than the canned or jarred versions.
ReplyDeleteYummy, and great for my vegetarian diet. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like making sauce myself, though mine usually includes carrots which have been fried gently for some time before adding the tomatoes. This recipe would be a LOT faster than mine and sounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteThis will be added to my list of recipes. A good sauce is not always easy to find, but I know this one will be.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daphne, This one is quick and oh!! so easy to make. What I like is that you can season it to your taste and have it ready in 15 minutes.
