"So many people have posted crappy spaghetti sauce recipes on this site. This is not one of them."
- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 -3 clove garlic, minced
- fresh basil leaf (I like to use about half a handful)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
directions
- Saute onion in oil until translucent.
- Add garlic, saute about 30 seconds.
- Add basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Simmer about 5 minutes.
- You can also add a pinch of sugar, if you like it sweeter, or a splash of balsamic vinegar, or a little white wine, or oregano and/or rosemary,or whatever you like, but it's delicious as is.
- Also, it's fantastic if you make meatballs, and when they're done, make this sauce in the same pan after draining out most of the grease.

I can't rate it because I haven't made it but it is safe to assume that for a marinara sauce to be "the best" you would have to include in your recipe when to add the tomatoes. But I will admit that it sounds good. -
I tried this recipe and frankly it would have been better to be more specific with the amounts of ingredients as far as proportions. Anyone can write "a little of this, a little of that", but to know what one is really doing, they must be able to tell the reader how much of each of the spices. I used my own amounts and luckily I did not waste my ingredients, but the sauce would not have tasted good without being jazzed up a bit. -
This might be easy but it's not very good. Ragu has nothing to worry about. -
This wouldn't even pass as a pizza sauce and definately NOT "The Best" marinara sauce. I had to REALLY doctor this up to make it work, enough that would constitute an entirely ne recipe.
