Marinara sauce is delicious and can be used in a variety of our favourite dishes. Use it over pasta, in lasagne or as a pizza base. We recommend stewing fresh tomatoes for a more vibrant flavour with adding herbs and spices that'll give it an unforgettable taste.
In a medium large saucepan fry chopped onions and garlic cloves in extra virgin olive oil. Once translucent and fragrant add tomatoes including the juices, oregano, pepper and red pepper flakes.
Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat, keeping it at a steady simmer for about 30 minutes, or until droplets of oil float free of the tomatoes.
Remove the pan from the heat and with a hand blender pulse the sauce to thick and course consistency.
Finally, add salt to taste. Serve warm over pasta. The marinara sauce can be stored in sealed container and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Freeze it for up to 6 months.
