Homemade Marinara
You'll need...
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves minced or peeled and slivered
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 pinch of crushed red pepper or a pinch of cayenne
- 1 ½ tsp salt (we recommend the pink Himalayan salt)
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp black better
- 1 large sprig of fresh basil
All you have to do is...
- Heat oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Add and saute garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add all ingredients except basil to the pan and stir to combine.
- Place basil on top of your sauce and gently press it just below the surface.
- Continue cooking until your sauce is simmering before you reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Allow to simmer at the lower temp for another 15 minutes or until the oil on the surface is a deep orange.
- Remove basil, season as desired, and serve!
Optional: We like some ground turkey in our pasta sauce. I recommend browning the meat separately and then combine with your finished sauce!
No Pasta Noodles
- Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create strips from a large zucchini.
- Place the strips (your noodles!) into a colander or strainer, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat.
- Put the colander in the sink and use a bowl of water or cans of food to press the water out.
- Allow to sit like this for at least an hour and then rinse the salt off before pressing out the noodles one last time.
- Heat noodles over medium heat in a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil before topping with your sauce.
Enjoy!
