Any good marinara sauce recipes?
I imagine most here just use the bottled stuff as I do but I can't find one I really like.
Anyone make their own stuff and care to divulge the recipe? |

good olive oil
onions garlic parsley (flat leaf not the curly kind) tomatoes (canned are ok) rosemary oregano basil bay leaf salt and pepper Basically in that order. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil. Simmer everything at least an hour. The longer you simmer it, the thicker/richer the sauce will be. You can use dried or fresh spices, but don't use dried garlic. If the sauce isn't dark enough, add some tomato paste. If it is boring, add more spices (possibly some crushed red pepper). If it is oily, add more tomatoes. Don't eat the bay leaf. |

Take a whole head of garlic. Slice half of the blubs, crush the other half with the blade of a bid knife. Garlic presses are for pussies. If you like onions chop up 1/2 an onion real small.
Sautee the garlic (and onion) in olive oil until it's brownish, Add 2 cans of Crushed tomatos. If you like, add some fresh basil when it's almost done. No need for all sorts of fancy spices. |

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! |

From the Godfather I:
Clemenza: ...here, learn something... you may have to feed fifty guys some day. You start with olive oil...fry some garlic, see. And then fry some sausage...or meat balls if you like...then you throw in the tomatoes, the tomato paste...some basil; and a little red wine...that's my trick. |
