Marinara Sauce

  • 1 can peeled tomatoes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and halved
  • 2 large garlic cloves, peeled but whole
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Salt (if necessary)
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients (including any juice from the tomato can)
  2. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to keep the sauce at a simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Crush tomatoes against the side of the pan, and then let simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and remove the onion from the sauce. Smash garlic cloves and any small onion pieces with a fork.
  5. Add salt, if needed. Serve warm. Refrigerate for 4 days, or freeze for 6 months.
