A easy and fantastic marinara that is done in 30 minutes.
I like to use San Marzano canned tomatoes, fresh garlic, and let it simmer until all the flavors get aquinated. This makes it have a full robust flavor and richness. This is my a basic marinara that can be used for a plethora of dishes. You will find I use this as a base for many recipes. It is something that can be used as is or many ingredients added to suite the dishes flavor profile.
Sometimes I love to add parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, even balsamic vinegar. It just depends on what is accompanying the marinara.Â
Lets get started!
