Description

This classic homemade Marinara Sauce is rich, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. Simmered with garlic, tomatoes, and herbs, it’s perfect for pasta, pizza, meatballs, or dipping breadsticks. A pantry-friendly staple you’ll make again and again.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1 tsp dried)

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), sugar, and tomato paste (if using).

  5. Bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat and cook uncovered for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  6. Stir in fresh basil during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  8. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the sauce with an immersion blender.

  • Use San Marzano tomatoes for a more authentic, sweeter flavor.

  • Great for pasta, lasagna, eggplant Parmesan, or pizza.
