So easy and quick that we used this recipe in our 2017 summer
meatball cooking class for kids. Of course, you can cook it longer than 7 to 10
minutes to develop even more flavor!
Quick & Easy Marinara Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (28 oz.) can crushed
tomatoes
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon granulated
(white) sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons dried Italian
seasoning (or use about 1/4 chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, oregano, basil if available)
¼ teaspoon crushed red
pepper flakes (optional)
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add the olive oil to the pan, allowing it to warm for 1 minute, then add the garlic and sauté it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it's light brown and fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes if using; stir to combine.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and then add more
seasonings as desired.
Our Italian-style Stuffed Zucchini recipe uses this marinara sauce.
