Default Re: Any good marinara sauce recipes?

Its no surprise you can't find any bottled sauce you like - that stuff is 100% awful.

The best recipes for 'Sunday gravy' are the simplest.

ingredients

olive oil
garlic
bulk italian sausage
whole peeled san marzano plum tomatoes
fresh basil
pecorino romano cheese

sautee a few cloves of garlic in a small amount of oil. add sausage. brown the sausage.

use a food processor to chop the tomatoes into a liquid depending on how chunky you like it

add tomatoes to sausage and oil
add torn basil leaves
add salt to taste

simmer for 30 to 45 min

when pasta is nearly al dente (about 1 minute to go) drain and put it in saucepan over med-low heat. mix it around as the pasta finishes cooking in the sauce. this allows the pasta to absorb the sauce rather than simply get coated.

garnish with a couple more torn basil leaves and use plenty of grated romano cheese. serve immediately.

Enjoy!
