LivLight Market Marinara

There’s nothing better than summer tomatoes, and who doesn’t love a homemade marinara?

This sauce is delicious right out of the pot and gets even better with time.

Make a big pot on Sunday and use it throughout the week on pasta, veggies and grilled fish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 yellow onion, chopped

6 garlic cloves, minced

3 pounds fresh tomatoes, cored and chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil, tightly packed

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

 

Directions

  1. Heat oil on medium–high in a large pot or dutch oven. Add onion and garlic and sauté for about a minute.
  2. Add tomatoes, basil and parsley, and mix well to combine. Cover and cook on medium heat about 10 minutes, until tomatoes are just starting to fall apart.
  3. Carefully transfer to blender and blend for just a few seconds, leaving mixture a bit chunky.
  4. Return to pot and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
  5. Add salt and red pepper to taste. If your tomatoes are not quite ripe, you may want to add 1 teaspoon of sugar. (Coconut sugar also works well.)
  6. Serve over your favorite pasta or zoodles.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Store-bought marinara sauce is usually filled with sugar and preservatives. This homemade version is all fresh vegetables and herbs. It’s also the perfect recipe to solve for tomato glut after a visit to the farmers’ market in August.
