Marinara Sauce

In our weekly Angelic Organics CSA (Community Suported Agriculture) veggie box, I received an abundance of fresh and tasty tomatoes. I took the opportunity to give this new sauce recipe a try.

Marinara Sauce

2 tablespoons Olive oil
½ yellow onion, diced small
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 cup tomato puree

1. Heat a large sauce pot over medium heat; add olive oil and heat through.

2. Add onions; saute 2 minutes

3. Add garlic; saute 1 minute

4. Add remaining ingredients; bring to a simmer.

5. Simmer for ½ hour.
