Marinara Sauce

My go-to recipe for meatless spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, and eggplant parmesan with ingredients I always have on-hand.

Marinara Sauce

Makes 1 3/4 cups

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1 can (14oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp white sugar
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
In medium saucepan, heat oil over med. heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring 1 min.
Stir in tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, sugar, oregano, basil, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer with lid ajar for 30 min, stirring occasionally. Season with more herbs to taste, if desired.

*I have used cans of whole tomatoes and diced tomatoes. As the sauce simmers I just used a potato masher to stir and crush up the tomatoes while they're really soft.
