Marinara Sauce
Makes about 3½ cups
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
1 can (28 ounces) whole plum tomatoes
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons fresh basil, torn into pieces
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1. Put the olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium-low heat. Once the oil
is hot, add the garlic and onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, but
not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, with their juices; crush
slightly with the back of a wooden spoon. Bring to a strong simmer. Stir in
the oregano, pepper and salt; and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until slightly
thickened. Stir in basil and sugar and then simmer an additional 10 minutes
to blend flavors.
2. Using a Cuisinart® Hand Blender, take pan off heat and blend the sauce until
smooth. Be sure to keep the metal blade completely submerged while
blending. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
